Hood's
technique is best realised in the works on paper, in which the watercolour
is built up meticulously to mimic the lights and darks of a photograph.
But the aspiration to photographic accuracy is cruelled in the last
minute, as Hood tips the sheet vertically, whence the watery paint runs,
as if the image is leaking.
