Obsessed with the various possibilities of fragmenting the same object, I produced SKULL 2 , an elaborate study in cubist forms. It is the same sheep cranium that I had previously used in SKULL, a chalk and charcoal drawing sketched from the same angle.

In this regard, I suggest that the viewer should alternate between ‘consulting' both works in order to fully appreciate the latter effort.
