The Eraser > Overview ))) Thom Yorke - Analyse. L O N D O N S B U R N I N G. This work was started in November 2005, whilst a record that was eventually called The Eraser was being worked on in Covent Garden, London. I didn't know that this would become the artwork that would accompany this record, although I hoped that it would, for several reasons too vague and tenuous to go into here. Which is one of the reasons why the record is called The Eraser and the artwork is called London Views. Another intention was to exhibit the completed project at Lazarides in Greek Street, just over the Charing Cross Road in Soho.

This show opened on 19th May 2006, after an opening night which passed eventfully enough. Each of the 14 sections were first proofed on a huge cast-iron printing press, an Albion made in 1860, scanned, and printed on to large aluminium/polymer composite panels, which in turn were caged with diamond-pattern wire, reminiscent of the Evening Standard headline-boards that infect the capital with their own dire predictions.
