Hard-Fought Draws!


graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm

A drawing processed (& image hard-won) from another view of the crumpled polystyrene egg box, subject to complex plays of light & surface effect, complicating the resolution of form, as previously.

Soundtrack:


Elliott Smith 'XO'
Moon Wiring Club 'An Audience of Art Deco Eyes'
Test Match Special
Eng v Aus 1st Test, 5th day

What a privilege it was to be able to share - via the medium of radio & the wonderful, evocative word-pictures painted by the erudite, peerless TMS team - the compelling drama, live as it unfolded, of the tense ebb & flow of the scarcely-credible (given what had preceded it) rearguard action fought by England's batting tail-end, to the last wicket pairing, ultimately successfully, towards the drawn conclusion of an utterly compelling 1st Ashes Test: tremendous entertainment.
