The title refers to AUX 88, an electro group from Michigan. The bottom left part of the painting has two rectangles with cut out chevrons, the unusual fragment nods to the avant-garde movement of vorticism. In this area of painterly flourish, Hayward reimagines a 1945 work, ‘Eclipse of the Sunflower’ by Paul Nash. The painting was one of the last works Nash made before his death. In Hayward’s own versions of quintessential British landscapes, the small scale and great level of detail speaks to his training in Indo-Persian miniature painting. Emulating embroidery, the bottom right section is delicately textured paint. The bovine shape is a symbol from an intricate appliqué ‘Shrine flag (‘alam or nishan)’ from Uttar Pradesh, c.1896-1910, which Hayward sourced from the tome, ‘The Fabric of India’ ed. Rosmary Crill (2015).
