The sense of despair and decay is really strong in this piece. This and 'There is Glory in Our Failure' are the more sombre of the Cosmonaut series imho. The landscape in both works is derelict and crumbling and the Cosmonauts posture is limp and lifeless (though his arms are raised upwards, it looks like he is just being dropped by the bird)
I'd be interesting in learning the physical location used in this one. It looks like a back alley somewhere in the Melbourne CBD.
I'll guess I'll have to do some scouting when I'm back at Christmas

The colours employed here are really autumnal. Quite fitting, as we are now in a transitional period with Jems work, with the Cosmo’s sadly on the way out soon...

Psyched to have a break from the F5ing, will definitely pick this piece up, wonder how long the timed released will be.

I'm not really digging the positioning of the cosmo/bird in this one which sucks since I really like the rest of the image. I'll definitely still be picking one up though...yay for smaller size!

This is the flip side to The Street. While that piece had it's own sense of desolation and despair it was offset by the beauty of the pristine architecture and sterile environment. Here the decay and filth amplify that sense of dread.rubberneck wrote:The sense of despair and decay is really strong in this piece.

After further mulling over this print, my sense of it is that this is the same bird coming to the doomed astronaut 'adrift' in the cold vacuum of space and is now bringing him down to rest in this derelict decayed environment. Letting him breathe in 'warmer air'
We can't see the condition of his visor in this new image however. My 2c anyway....
