This is the second completed piece in this assignment. As I mentioned before, this work is based on a drawer of machine parts etc from a disused shirt factory. The composition has strong areas of interest and the watercolour support has added a broken textural surface. Technically, it works, but suffers from a lack of an evident contextual reference - although I would contend that there are subconscious traces of Diego Rivera's mural painting in there.

The subject matter itself alludes to the demise of shirt making in Derry and it's once premier role in the world of garment manufacture.
