Again the ground/allover surface displays subtle tonal & textural variations amongst its modernist monochrome nature, whilst the slightly raised lines & shadow cast by the flattened object subtly disrupt the integrity of the rigorous Greenbergian flatness of the picture plane.
Moving the framing device a little to the right enables the inclusion of more incidental detail, in the form of broader linear fissures & flickers of colour, within the pictorial whole...
whilst further movement to the right is able to incorporate the bold compositional element of a drainage grate, a little visual play upon the good old modernist 'grid', also including numerous other objects & debris caught within the 'waves' of its design, the curves of which add a touch of formal dynamism, albeit subtle & 'slow', to the otherwise straighter-edged stillness, the whole managing to remain balanced in pictorial terms with the spatial opposition between the grid & the more vividly-hued original 'roadkill' object.
