Interzone outfits, fit-ins, off-cuts, and drop-outs.

A recent piece "Lost City Buccaneer ~ a Pisces Masquerade"

Thoughts were linked to a section from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land":

IV. Death by Water

'Phlebas the Phonecian, a fortnight dead,

Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell

And the profit and loss.

A current under sea

Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell

He passed the stages of his age and youth

Entering the whirlpool.

Gentile or Jew

O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,

Consider Phlebas, who was once hansome and tall as you.'





I managed to complete this image over the weekend "Mirror Gazing ~ telekinetic combustion"....thoughts connected to experiments Bill & Brion did at the Beat Hotel with mirror gazing....

For the sake of the picture, I smashed up a real mirror into pieces ~ then photographed the fragments in different light perspectives, before 'throwing' the glass onto the picture to add a random element...a full moon outside at the time - so maybe eerie side effects in store for me....
