A 'roadkill' find today of something of a different formal nature, deviating from the norm, but one too good not to record for posterity, given
TOoT's abiding commitment to the old faithful modernist grid: the silvery-grey monochrome of the object just makes it even more attractive &, with the surface texture provided by the division of its cells too, perhaps reminding one, distantly, of such as
Jasper Johns' white & grey
'Numbers' paintings, for example.
There's also, of course, something of a punning upon the more usual form of 'grid' (that, obviously, of the drainage variety) to be found within the context of the road, as sometimes feature as a distinct(ive) & additional element within the usual pictorial compositions of aluminium can 'roadkill' upon various instances of the local 'double black lines'...
