Grease is Still the Word...

Presenting the fourth entry in the sequence of photographic recordings of the progress of grease marks made by the found object of a 'Hula Hoop' potato-based snack upon the found 'drawing' of an ostensibly 'blank' photocopy (but bearing in fact the printed record of the subtle marks made during the action of the copying process of nothing other than the inside of the machine's lid & the pattern of pinpoint marks upon).

Repositioned within the overall composition of the 'picture plane' once again, the object can be seen to have left another group of marks to the right of where it now rests, as ever significantly darker in tone than the white surface of the paper, recording, 'painting' (well, & in the interests of integrity too, it is oil, after all) evidence of this placement, which marks exist in relation to the subtle tones of the printed dots & the horizontal stripe of the photocopy-as-found-'drawing', & also the shadows cast by the object as fixed in the photograph...




Once more, a certain subtle expansion of the grease marks might also be observed to have occurred.

To end this particular sequence of recorded observations (coming to a natural end as the day job, the environment in which this particular process has taken place & been documented, goes into its summer hibernation - aware of the contradictory nature of that last pairing of words), here is presented the 'drawing-painting' in & for itself, without the obvious three-dimensional element of the Hula Hoop object: a collection, composition, of various marks made by mechanical printing & organic means (being, amongst other things, a photograph of the physical print of a photographic process, of course), both organized & to a certain extent controlled, & otherwise left to the chance action of one object, & substance, upon another, very much in the manner of drawing & painting.
