Specialist note

'A series of randomly selected pieces we make at regular intervals along a raised road leading to a partially demolished factory in West London. The road was made of red cobbles. There were cobbled pavements on either side with a stone kerb. The first study at the top was littered with smashed slate from the roof of the factory. The road was deserted. There was a heatwave. We worked in the sun from sunrise til sunset. We were deliriously happy, 10 studies each 6' x 6''. (Mark Boyle quoted in J.L. Locher, op. cit.)
