In this series of works, Patterson mimics wide screen film technology and paints wide strips containing a grid of coloured blocks ranging through the colour spectrum into greys and blacks, which is in essence, the standard Kodak printing reference of colour patches and scales. Upon this, he imposes a well known name. This particular painting was based upon Clint Eastwoods classic Western movie High Plains Drifter and in it, Patterson has stretched blocks of colour vertically while Clint Eastwoods name is squat and wide.
