graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour/30x20cm
The latest example of found aluminium can ‘roadkill’ to be processed as drawing, with this example of subject/object matter being interestingly reformed-reshaped during the accidental act of compression, nipped-in at the waist, as it were.
Also, whilst out & about & taking the air, a couple more ‘found paintings’, textured monochromes, of the double black lines road markings with ‘roadkill’ in situ...
Soundtrack:
Tara Jane O’Neil ‘A Ways Away’
PJ Harvey ‘White Chalk’
Hanne Hukkelberg ‘Rykestrasse 68’
Jesca Hoop ‘Kismet’ & ‘Hunting My Dress’
Mark Mulcahy ‘In Pursuit of Your Happiness’
Miracle Legion ‘Surprise, Surprise, Surprise’
In addition to the newly-acquired ‘Hunting My Dress’ (a little less immediate than the rollercoaster-carnival-of-delights that is ‘Kismet’, perhaps, but beguilingly lovely in numerous places as an initial impression) & Mark Mulcahy’s ‘In Pursuit of Your Happiness’, it was a great pleasure indeed to become reacquainted with an earlier example of Mr M’s art in the (cassette-) form of Miracle Legion’s ‘Surprise, Surprise, Surprise’, the excellence & wonders of which proved to be enduring: a rare, sadly-neglected (not least by certain persons who leave their music cassette collections stashed mouldering away in a damp garage for far too many years) & surely needlessly digitally-unavailable masterpiece of compelling, urgent, necessary songs, which, in their original form (considering the recent tribute-to-Mulchay’s-songwriting volume of reinterpretations, ‘Ciao, My Shining Star’) deserve to be rehabilitated & treasured, if not by the masses then at least by those of suitably discerning tastes.
