From Marie At Last The Lonely Crimson Giant and The Hollow Men

A 'then' story: I had been waiting for so long for Marie's mail and then it arrived: the alone-ness of the man in the image was very striking: then Marie wrote the blog about the loneliness of the Crimson Giant walking away from the Tower of Babel: then I photographed an old work I had done which is in a head-office in Johannesburg, filled with Hollow Men (T.S.Elliot) inspired by a lonely man (Pollock): then I realized the magnitude of isolation that can fill the world if we don't connect. Thanks Marie - neural connections span oceans don't they?

Mixed Media painting - 3m x 2.5m Stamps, 15 liters of varnish/oil paints, stamps, lazer cut metal pieces, metal shavings, text from T.S Elliot Wastelands.
