Copyright 1989:
A
five month pen, ink and scalpel blade drawing working by naked eye only,
of course. Although the use of' 'dots' predominates, we can see the
additional use of the 'tip' of a scalpel blade to 'squash down' some
'dots' into creating a further level of 'detail' and 'tonal range'
('depth')..........the start of the additional use of a scalpel blade's
'tip'.
Measurements of original
and print: 16.7 cm. x 26 cm.
* This print is not for
sale and only displayed for the enjoyment of the naturally, highly
intelligent and, musically, highly discerning Tull devotees. After all, as Richard
Kennedy ocacasionally jokes - ' I could have been completely 'normal'
without Tull's music'.........!
Description of
composition: Too complicated to explain how
every part of this extraordinarily unique picture relates, specifically,
to Tull's history, music and imagery. Devotees will recognise everything!
Even lesser fans of Tull
will spot the 'Aqualung' cover, 'profoundly burnt' front page from the
'Thick as a Brick' album cover, Scottish salmon lough, English woodland
and metaphorical birthday 'cake' and 'hippy' smoke. Rabbits, an owl and a
salmon are only a few of the ingredients.......An exhaustive picture
completed in 1989 to celebrate Jethro Tull's, then, '21st. Birthday' since
the band's formation in 1968. |
