Another instance of aluminium can 'roadkill' found upon a section of the local 'double black lines' & thus pictorially framed in a manner that allows the inclusion of a few specific features within the generality of the series as it continues & grows, inexorably as does the tendency to litter.


Here, as might be observed, the painted lines themselves deviate from the true straight horizontal by following a slight curve, whilst another road marking, eroded & faded from its original white to a state where it begins to merge with the tarmac road surface, that 'all-over' monochrome picture plane, appears at a diagonal to add something of a compositional dynamic, supported by the lines, running parallel & at a right angle to, inscribed into the surface formed by the edges of various road repairs, the distinct areas of which display subtle textural modulations. The concrete stones that form the lower border of the image then add variations of both tonal & textural incident to the whole.

The manner in which the 'roadkill' object has been flattened, with its name, the text of its branded identity, split in such fashion, allows this to be read almost in its entirety in such a fashion as to thus imaginatively reconstruct the object three-dimensionally 'in the round'...
