       and eventually we 
       gain sufficient skill'


Squiggling down from mid-top-centre-stage-left
a line descends, and curls first to the left,
slowly losing squiggliness, and become just 
curvey and does a grace full loop down from
left to right, almost horizontal to the left,
and then some-what tigtly back to the right
and upward. It crosses back down itself, and 
after briefly imitating Ayer's Rock in 
Australlia (i think this must be Shella, btw)
she then regains her squigglyness but, never 
reaches looping again, and then, like an
inverted half-open safety pin, stops abruptly
without even a final dot.

Around her last bit of curviness, a flock of
8 "v"'s point in to watch her gracefull curves
flowing past...

Joining, them at the bottom (near where she
starts her final safety-pin Kimp) two-almost
meeting lines form a V and they lead down,
spreading wide (and hence enclosing a lot of
space) the approach to the right - almost
formaing a right triange, the the hypothenuse
is jotty, and then the base of the triange
swings curvi-linearly upward, they zig and
zag, crossing each other in classic 
pseudo-fractal style (this is of course G&G
who often give rise to the leaf and angular
fractal emanations) finally, they form a
closed loop joining in the cusp of a 
valentine heart. 

Off of this, is of course the half-question
mark (played today, by (i think) by A. Coil
- the actor), as the loop towards where the
dot under the question mark would be a fan sits
to the right and swirlingly pushes the water
drops coming from the bottom of question mark
down into a flask that borders, down and to
the left on the side of the altitude line
(the up-down line) of the would-be right
triangle. 

Below all of this is the assertion of TIME
(always to be expected on these occasions).

Reading the GLYPHS left to right we have:

  A circle with a large "+" sign in the middle
  of it - going towards the periphery, but not
  touching it by any means. We are clued into
  the fact that it IS a clock by the additon
  of two small dash lines, radially outward
  from the centre, but mainly hanging out
  at the edge.

  A sharp, strict - almost perfectly straight
  line cuts down - ogviously the "mark" of 
  demarcation; and clearly a tribute by the
  artist to both G. Spenser Brown (the student
  of Bertrand Russell who deciphered the "i am
  lying" paradox) and of course to the late, 
  great Jacques Derridda. 

  Next, is a badly made rectangle (obviously 
  an intention by the artist to draw into stark
  relief his own style and counter-poise it 
  a-twixt time and space with the works of
  Lodovicio and Leonardo). Inside the box,
  four Greek lettes appear:  t (tau), i (iota),
  m (mue), and s (sigma - upper case). The
  fact that upper-case Sigma looks like the
  upper-case "E" in the Roman alphabet, is
  used to clearly spell the word "time".
  
  Next two lines lead upward - one at the top
  from about the center of the rectangle - but
  not touching it - to the right and upward,
  the other, mirroring it goes downward and
  to the left.

  And then in a briliant stroke (clearly in 
  imitation of the classical Rensaissance style)
  an EQUALS SIGN !! 

  this leads into two } {  marks made larger than
  the marks previously and finally,

  a funnel, from which appear drops of water - much
  larger than those w/the fan above. And they drift
  down towards a sea of waves at that dominate the 
  entire bottom of the picture plane. Except, of 
  course with the text to the FAR RIGHT. 

  It is at this point, that the electric cord 
  from the fan that cuts the right side of the 
  drawing in half (mostly) goes off and the
  plug stops in mid air.

  A sine wave (wave suqiggle) goes off and upward
  to the right, and turns into an arrow pointing
  to the symbols 

     c  o  (lower-case) sigma

  (ie, COS - as in cosine. Although many adherents
   to sexual intermpretations of Georgia O'Keef's 
   flowers, would say that the "sigma" is definitaly
   penile in nature, in fact, you can see the vas differens!!!
  )

  MEANWHILE

  The bottom of the electical plug starts as a mobile
  (which oddly enough actually IS a reference to Nigel
  Caulder or at least Alexander).

   On the left arc, a "caged" SEVEN (7) is,
   On the right, two branches arc to clearly
   cartoon references to Ziggy's nose (on the
   lower-left) and a soup ladle used in the
   "Our Bording House" with "Wimpole" from
   the 1930's comic.

   Down, below in bed, a very picca-chu-like
   character lies in a badly drawn bed, with 
   odd lines radiating out (five) - the central
   most of one leads up toe a clearly made 
   question mark.

   Below the electrical cord, the text continues:

        or near a
              dear's bed.

WELL!  I never! If that's supposed to be a deer! Then,
i've had it with this non-sense!!!

Where's my check!!!????
