Description For the benefit of #Unum -Veritas, here is The Waste Land, by T. S. Eliot www.bartleby.com/201/1.html . The title is in the fourth line from the end, so you've a lot to get through... www.bartleby.com/201/1.html


The warning? It's mainly for the benefit of the sensitive and those of our admirers who may not want to see overtly erotic material, not that it's very salacious.

By the way, this IS just OMG Plywood Mammary Stock, reworked in Photoshop CS5

"The awful daring of a moments' surrender" may leave the self shattered, the parts spilling over the ground of the era's wasteland. A woman's breast, some nailmarks clawed into the dirt, some opalescent shards of glass, or is it some pieces of the bright remembered sky? Do the woman's breasts resemble the pearly eyes of the drowned Phoenician sailor?
There are landscapes, seascapes, why not wastescapes? Does not our consciousness contain images of the burnt library at Alexandria, a Jerusalem depopulasted by the Persians, the glories of Athens long gone? The eventual fate of our own civilization should be studied thus.

Well, this is just 'distressed plywood', clearly much weather but not wildly over treated in the manner I've taken to recently. I tried to present it as if it were already a 'tromp l'oeil' painting after just the slightest selective rehueing and fairly ordinary photographic enhancement. After this United [?] Kingdom was foolish enough [but only just] to vote for Brexit, I bent most of my artistic efforts towards campaigning against this utterly ill timed and unthought through folly. The result was a series that doesn't have a folder of its own yet but might still get one; BREXIT:  www.deviantart.com/aegiandyad/…
The comment stream beneath this:   give a flavour of the intense debate that took place before Brexit became a 'de jure' factoid. I maintain that it has not taken place 'de facto' and never will till COVID-19 is out of the way and that will be at least a year.  Hear NO debate about the mechanics of Brexit now; see no signs that 'divergence' will ever take place.
