emulsion, spray paint and conte on photograph
20 x 25 cm
 
It is the absence of the story which may turn even a banal detail into a highly charged and evocative symbol. We are always looking for meaning. Emulsion paint is heavily brushed on top of a developed photograph. Spray paint is then sprayed on the drying emulsion. Conte crayon used make marks and also to colour and tone some of the negative spaces. The art work would benefit from a plain mount and frame. These items are not supplied with this artwork.
