Saturday afternoon having passed in contemplation & active scrutiny of a pair of pears, Sunday followed suit, this time complicating the background arrangement, with reference to a certain influence of
Euan Uglow in so doing (also in keeping with a general preoccupation with horizontals & verticals, as might be discerned with recourse to the summer's sequence of 'roadkill' watercolours), similarly in the arrangement of the objects themselves, positioned in close proximity in the service of attempting to spark some form of dynamic 'charge' between.

Sparklehorse 'Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot'It becomes increasingly obvious, with each further precious engagement with the work of
Sparklehorse, that
Mark Linkous's passing will leave an unfillable void, such is the idiosyncratic charm & poignancy of the
oeuvre: a desperately sad loss, yet an aesthetic achievement to be celebrated & treasured upon each hearing of.
