a nineteenth cartoon...'auto-graveyard'


The first time I came across the cold and yet emotive phrase ‘auto-graveyard’ was in J.G.Ballard’s novel Crash.  John Salt, meanwhile, has made a career out of painting car-wrecks and knackers yards – very expertly.  I love the idea of the ruined automobile as the carcass of the human spirit, as well as the detritus of neo-liberal capitalism.
