Simultaneity

graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm

Having touched upon Cubism once again, this most recent drawing in the diptych subseries represents a subject that illustrates the notion of simultaneity rather effectively, with the ‘roadkill’ found object being compressed in such a manner that presents both its top & bottom for view at the same time, within the same flat(tened) plane, in addition to its instantly-recognizable brand name being present in its entirety, albeit fragmented, divided, into two separate almost-perfect halves, & being able to be read as such from either of the halves.

Soundtrack:


Portishead 'Third'
The Delgados 'The Great Eastern'
The Go-Betweens 'Before Hollywood', 'Spring Hill Fair', 'Liberty Belle & the Black Diamond Express', 'Tallulah' & '16 Lovers Lane'

Remembering, at this time of year – if a few days late, to be honest – Grant Maclennan, although no excuse should be required to indulge in the enduring delightful magic of The Go-Betweens.
