Ragged Glory


graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour/30x20cm

The latest example in the 'roadkill' diptych series, the found object/subject matter processed in one flat planar aspect (if not all) of its ragged glory: it never fails to intrigue into just what form the objects have been reconfigured as a result of the compression they have been subjected to.
In this particular instance, in the manner of typical examples of 'Readymade Cubism', multiple views - of top, side & bottom - are condensed within the same plane, along with an appropriate synecdochal fragment of brand name & logo.

Soundtrack:


Galaxie 500 'Today'
Moon Wiring Club 'Striped Paint for the Last Post'
Scritti Politti 'White Bread Black Beer'
Mark Mulcahy 'In Pursuit of Your Happiness'
Hanne Hukkelberg 'Rykestrasse 68'
Jesca Hoop 'Hunting My Dress'
