& Magnetic Letters On Salvaged Refrigerator Door, 47 cm X 50 cm, 2018

Having recently completed the tenth and final piece in my 'Flagging' series - it was time to get back to  my mixed-media fridge door pieces.  Here's the recently completed 'Fridge 4'  Pleasingly, this one came together fairly quickly over recent days - after I'd done the initial ground work over the Christmas period.

Like each of the existing 'Fridge' pieces, this is a combination of mixed media, collage, screen printing and fridge magnet letters - all compiled on a salvaged refrigerator door.  The text is another excerpt from my 'Below The Line / Beneath Contempt' text - itself a linking thread throughout my overall 'This S(c)epic Isle' project.  With abandoned fridges being a key motif within the project - it's fortuitous that their doors also make great painting supports.

I'm becoming quite a connoisseur of them, and this is an unusually dinky example - found in a West Leicester back street.  It features a pleasingly sculpted handle arrangement and an unusual integral lock - which makes me wonder exactly what this little fridge once contained.

There's not much else to report really - other than that Number Five is following close behind.

At the risk of excessive repetition, it seems worthwhile to compile all my paper-based 'Flagging' pieces in one post - now that the series is completed and definitively titled.  If nothing else - it's the digital equivalent of putting them all together on a wall and standing well back (something my relatively cramped working/living conditions make a bit difficult).  It also allows me to assess just how much variation and incremental progression occurred within the overall series.  I think the answer is probably, just enough.  I don't feel it necessary to add anything else really, beyond what might be read here, here, here, here, here, or here.
