Both Sides of the Story...

Another example of aluminium can 'roadkill' found upon a stretch of the local double black lines road markings with, also in this particular instance, a pleasingly 'formal' arrangement of the various compositional aspects of the patchwork of the road surface itself, assisting the process of pictorial framing &, with the additional presence of vertical lines to complement the dominant horizontals, thus relating serendipitously to the recent developments within the sequence of 'roadkill' watercolour drawings.

Given the absence of much colour detail visible upon the surface of the flattened object, the consequently monochromatic nature of the whole is another noteworthy aspect of the overall aesthetic.




An Update: Things Looking Up...

A short passage of time leads one to find that the 'roadkill' object has been subject to one of those delightful feats of motion as may on successive occasions be observed, here performing a pretty neat flip to reveal its other face, which, if one reads the brand name literally, might be assumed to be its upside..!
