graphite & watercolour/30x20cm
After the photographically-sourced image presented on the previous occasion, this latest drawing based on the subject matter of folded & lightly crumpled blank sheets of paper returns to the act of processing from direct observation of the object itself, the 'decisive' marks made in response to the play of the natural light source across the textured, low-relief three-dimensional surface.
Representing the object on a direct 1:1 scale, on an A4 page, allows image & picture plane to coincide, with thus the achievement of an all-over surface, the non-hierarchical nature of which (counter to, perhaps, the traditional notion of still life composition) is further enhanced by the presence of the grid structure - each cell of which displays its own particular accumulation of incidental details - created by the folding & creasing of the original sheet, which thus transfers to & recurs within the represented image.
