Gerry

Red,

       Here is my homework.

The picture is of under my bed, the objects are a clock signifying my understanding of time ..

a prayer book, signifying my faith

a baseball bat with a golden strip around it signifying my protective nature

a phone signifying my willingness to communicate freely

a radio as it is my constant nightime companion, its is permanently tuned into RTE radio and I go to sleep and waken in Ireland signifying my belief that I only work here but live there.

 

I hope this is correct...tried a picture of sitting room but it did'nt come out...thought this is more profound....xx

 

And for the second part of my homework....its simply the colour that appeals to me...lilac, an off mauve. off purple, soothing, calming, shades of divinity, the colour of Rome and the Celestines....the colour of spiritual enlightment.....

the mirror signifies the mirror of my soul

the old radio mic signifies servitude

the old wardrobe signifies humility and lack of new noveau furniture....

 

) I believe the interior says I am a complex man.My complexities are interwoven in the abstract use of the colour lilac, the flirting with purple and Roman and Catholic contations of these colours.The objects say complex, the radio permanently tuned into RTE, the prayer book , the baseball bat....the radio microphone ....its saying there is a deeper underlying fundamental meaning in these diverse objects and how they are all placed so close to each other.The close proximity of these objects in the most accessible of places says someone who lives very much in the harsh and real world yet also dwells in the etheral world of angels, saints and fairies and lepreachauns.

I believe the historians will see it very much as I do , they will undoubtley be divided on me personally but they will all be in agreement about the complex taste in decoration .

 

2)I do occassionaly have guests,nrmally late at night, never in daytime hours.

 

3) I think they see it as 'quaint' and 'confusing'....they sometimes say 'oh its very rock n roll' or 'very colourful'.....I don't think they see the underlying fundamental meanings that I do. I think they often struggle to understand the cmplexities of the decoration and the layout..

 

 

What I know about Gerry... He's barking mad...... 

 

 

all in all it says soulfullness...xx
