Books Landscape Magic

I was around dead peoples' things again at the weekend.

Illustrations by Alden Cole for "The Witches Speak" (1976) by Patricia and Arnold Crowther.

The exterior of the Watts Cemetery Chapel in Compton is just as wild as the interior. All modelled in terracotta by villagers using Mary Seaton Watts's designs

@unguenta It was yes.

@BooksnMagic Was this done in the late 19th Century? Looks like the 'Arts & Crafts' movement.

The mind-blowing interior of the Watts Cemetery Chapel in Compton in Surrey. Designed by Mary Seaton Watts and executed by her and a small army of local villagers it is one of the most important wall treatments in England and presents a unique and complete angelic cosmology.

Osiris. Etching by André Masson from "Sacrifices" 1934.

The unlikely choice of Charles Keeping to illustrate Charles Causley's 1982 anthology of Christian verse, "The Sun Dancing", was inspired.

@Linus_E_ Drop me a line if you are ever visiting back down here

Shame I'm now in the Dales picking over river debris looking for naiads and grindylow, would have been good to meet up! 🫤

Another animistic beachcomber from Portsmouth! What are the chances?! Something on those beaches must be trying to make itself known... lovely work here by Callum James.

@Innocent0119 These are all found objects, there are two flint nodules, a piece of driftwood and an oystershell. The objects are real but I have used digital techniques to put them on the lit plinths to give an idea of what i would like to achieve in a real space.

@BooksnMagic What are these made of?

Digital concept images for an idea I have been gestating for a long time. An animist exhibition/ritual space called "Small Gods". Blurring the difference between museum and temple. None taller than 12" (Photos are of actual objects.)

"Bombardment" By D. H. Lawrence

@BooksnMagic Wonderful

"If a gay man of my generation didn't strike out for the horizon, then he performed a small betrayal. It was a duty for those of us marked as 'different' to lead adventurous lives." Derek Jarman in "Smiling in Slow Motion"
