The black pigment, oil and charcoal drawings made between 1985 and 1988 and generally on a smaller scale, were executed on a heavy density etching paper, Somerset Weave, which Gormley first discovered as a support in 1984 and which he has consistently used since. Large sheets of paper were folded and torn to scale; the uneven edges were left uncut, complementing the coarse but highly atmospheric ground texture provided by the dense weave of the paper.
