graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour pencil/30x21cm
Experiencing what might well be a bit of a seasonal slowdown on the old
drawing front, but here the Project continues with the latest re-mediation, of
an image of Hector Santos, who was represented in both the FKS & Panini World
Cup ’74 sticker albums & included in the official Uruguay squad for the
Finals, where, as understudy to first-choice goalkeeper Ladislao Mazurkiewicz,
he was at no stage required to take the field of play, as, doubly unfortunately
for him, had also been the case at the 1970 World Cup.
Needless to say, & in common with even those Uruguayans who did
feature in their 3 First Round group matches, he remained to me one of the
‘unheard-ofs’ until acquiring copies of the sticker albums the greater part of
40 years after the event.
