this is facinating- Orion can't ignore the war, have you seen J.Lucas movies "star wars".?
There is a life line but can't find the begining neither the end....oh I need aspirine so badly.

There is a life line, isn't there, kind of a depressing one though - amoebic youth, then lost in the jungle, then death. But the hands are beautiful, I think, and so are some of the phrases.

This sequence is definitely going to be studied in the future by earnest PhD students...

Guitou, yes love Star Wars all except for episode 1 which is silly, Do you know why there aren't any aspirins left in the jungle?

Cos the parrots-eat-em-all

Zeph, I think part of the idea was to try to show temporal separation; the past is under a swamp, present on an island, future is music not yet conceptualized

the importance of being earnest eh?

Amoebic youth is wonderful and very descriptive - says much more than just 2 words.

Something I like a lot about this is how is works as a sort of colour pageant in reduced size, then when you enlarge, not only do you get the words, but the colours and images have different meaning.

There's a multiplication of colours between 1 and 3, and yet a disintegration of function. The fragmentation of colours in 3 echoes the arthritic degeneration of the bones.

mimi will never pay me a compliment because I keep stealing welsh cake from her.

guitou: I would hesitate at paying you a compliment in case it was seen as sucking up to one who is wiser and cleverer than I.

You can steal welsh cakes any time!
