A one-bit threshold print in two values only, warm black and bone white, the black shattering into speckle and granules where it thins, on one flat untextured saturated ground. Cool and severe like an album sleeve, the graphic treatment aggressive while the subject stays still and withdrawn. A drummer mid-strike, device D6: an off-centre rectangle of flat saturated cobalt sitting behind the head only, the rest of the figure on bone white. Four layers back to front: the bone sheet, the cobalt block, a broad black mass carrying the shadowed side of the face and arms, and a fine top pass of granular breakup along each boundary.
