graphite & putty eraser/20x30cm
Another archive photographic image of football match action served as the source from which this latest drawing was processed, not, in fact, from the stock available within the acquired selection of period annuals as previously mentioned, but transcending these intended limitations for the sheer irresistibility of the particular moment it represents & fixes forever in time.
In common with the previous pair of examples to date, there’s something about the process of transcribing such imagery of a frozen moment into drawing, mark by mark, that puts in mind Hockney’s (concept of a) ‘Picture Emphasizing Stillness’, a certain irony in slowly taking one’s time to construct a representation of an image that was originally created instantaneously that, in some as-yet still undefined way, must surely contribute towards the mooted concept of ‘de-photography’.
