This is a richly and literally layered work. Chambers made a number of detailed drawings from newsreel images of the family of a boy lost in a boating accident and sandwiched them between layers of brightly coloured, rigid plastic. We may well ask whether this plastic “painting” is better thought of as collage or as montage. In an unpublished interview with the author Avis Lang, Chambers reported that at this time he felt a “hunger . . . to feel the dimension of things.”
