Silent Apocalypse (detail)

BELOW IS AN EXTRACT FROM THE POETIC TEXTS WRITTEN AS PART OF THIS ARTWORK:

"Psychomachia – sad black, void hoary absence bereft of truth

– expanse of spiniferous shifting ice Dishevel – figured antechambers,

brim with cyanide tears small beings lost,

cast down their bloody spinctered eyes.

Old lines – ravaged narratives, ancient remote chants

keen the bitter walls of earths coldestmost remote plain

Grasping old bones, exude sorrow beyond their known time.

defrocked defaced stateless, staggering forth without name.

Whitest light and darkest night, reflects the others flaws

marble cries lacerate the air in this broken and wasted place

Hate personified seeps outwith the stifling masks

Grace has fallen from the eyes of humanities sad and sunken face.
