graphite & putty eraser/20x30cm
original source: 'The Guardian' G2 26/08/08
The original photograph from which this drawing was processed allowed once again the opportunity of engaging with various levels of reproduction & representation, courtesy of the figure holding a framed portrait photograph: interesting in terms of formal dialogue & dynamic how the more 'removed', 'distant' figure establishes eye contact with both the artist(-as-viewer) & (any subsequent) viewer (of the drawing-newspaper-original photograph), whilst the more immediately present (but still significantly removed down the 'reproductive chain': i.e. photograph-newspaper-drawing) one averts their gaze.
