Done to a 'T'

Today the opposite of tomato is FC Barcelona's Champions' League Final victory

Returning after a 2-week hiatus, TOoT is back on the road again with a resumption of the 'roadkill diptych' series of drawings, this found-object subject being chosen for the arresting 'alternative' shape into which it has been compressed, folded & thus transformed. At this point in time, the drawing is unique in being made from the original object itself, more properly a still life, rather than an 'aesthetically-distanced' photocopy as has been the habitual case thus far over the course of the project, with the light-reflecting - & thus fugitive-in-appearance - surface of the aluminium can presenting a new set of challenges in the effective pictorial representation of.

Soundtrack:


Pavement 'Brighten the Corners'
Tricky 'Knowle West Boy'
Portishead 'Third'
Low 'Things We Lost in the Fire'
