graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm
Continuing the ‘roadkill’ diptych series (albeit at a more relaxed pace of late), again with an object upon which a striking & particularly ‘Cubist’ transformation has been effected by the force of vehicular intervention, from the cylindrical to a triangular form of neatly folded overlapping planes that renders the original virtually unrecognizable: although accidental, this reshaping has about it something of the appearance of a more deliberate, careful act, like the art of origami or napkin folding perhaps. As with the previous example, this drawing was processed primarily from the object itself (rather than an ‘aesthetically-distanced’ photocopy), subject to changes in formal emphasis under fugitive natural light conditions, the drawn object thus being more of a composite of various decisions & revisions (with reference made occasionally to the photocopied version).
