Back on the Road


graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm

Returning to the drawing of the ‘roadkill’ drink cans within their full & proper roadside context (as found), the stripe down the design of this particular subject suggested it would be appropriate, in formal terms, for such a purpose as laying upon & thus echoing the double black lines gracing the road surface. As has mostly been the case with such subject matter, the drawing is a composite of two separate sources – the original photograph of the road surface & the more recently found & reclaimed can.

Soundtrack:


New Order 'Movement'
Prince 'Sign O' the Times'
Cat Power 'The Covers Record'
