I took this photograph somewhere around Chelsea side of Manhatten, don’t think I realised quite how good it was until I was back in England. It just sorta sums up my how excitement over these objects and like I said about the colours…
I worked a bit on a multi-panel drawing from this image. There are few things going on in it. I would draw each panel seperate from the others hence a slight mismatch when they are assembled together and then some of the papers I used had different properties which in turn affected the charcoal, Oil and chalk pastels and the Paintstick which is maybe interesting. Its not trying to be a faithful representation, indeed maybe the its relative accuracy is more of a failure on my part than success.. What interested me was the series of abstract blocks of colour that made up the original image, and how these pieces interrelate, making up a whole and so on.
