Cordoba
2004 (I think) Oil/Alkyd on drawer-bottom Lisa has this one. This fella always likes to do quite melodramatic poses. He did a kind of kneeling/praying pose. So I thought about what he could be praying about. In these days of Christianity and Islam seeming to want to batter the crap out of each other at every opportunity, I thought I would place him in Cordoba Mosque/Cathedral: An amazing building created alternately by Christians and Muslims, which was created over years of conflict, yet resulted in a beautiful fusion. I dunno something like that. Don’t think either would be keen on a naked aging goth praying there though. I never got round to painting the background properly, though.
