graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm
A subtle change of focus within the current series of drawings, this diptych concentrating on the aluminium can 'roadkill' itself, the concept & composition inspired by the presence of chalked lines on the road surfaces of a small selection of the original photographs upon which the project is essentially based which, if one were so inclined, might suggest the traditional scene-of-crime practice of drawing an outline around a prone dead body, as, in effect, the flattened can is...The outline exists as a drawing in its own right in such circumstances, of course, &, in the above composition, forms half of a negative-positive formal dialogue. The drawing of the flattened can was processed from a properly two-dimensional 'aesthetically-distanced' source, a photocopy of the found object itself.
