Exploring a pre-operative space on the Rosslyn / Macsor Ley line, this approach to anti-occult cinema exposes rifts in the space-time continuum and attempts to make them accessible to everyone.

Man is a bridge between the apes and the Supermen; a laughing stock.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
Two Crosses is a solo exhibition by Cornwall born, London based artist Daryl Waller taking place at Goldfish, Penzance.
This will be a major exhibition of paintings, sculpture, installation and performance.
The performance aspect of the show, titled 'Portrait of the artist as a young man', will span two thirds of the exhibition and will involve the artist dressed as an ape-man, confined / sheltered in a cage, painting to request / demand.
Artist Statement
For balance and control, a battle rages in my soul
Am I monkey am I man?
One finger holding back the dam
Confusion was all right
Till it kept me up at night
Heavy breathing okay
Till it took my breath away
Now I feel like I've just begun, I feel I've just begun
Lou Barlow, 2006
Two Crosses isn't about just one thing, it doesn't have one overall theme, and I'm unable to sum it all up in a few sentences. Nothing is about just one thing. For me I see the little advances I've made - in colour, form, shape and composition, although I doubt these would be of importance or interest to anyone else but myself.
I often read that musicians have the melody buzzing around their head, and need to get in down, this interests me a great deal, how does the tune get there? Why did it form? What purpose does it have? Why do some people think this way while others don't? The only melodies I have in my head are ones other people have recorded already; they fill my minds-
ear and never seem to leave. I can only assume that this must be similar to the way I imagine images in my mind. Shapes, colours and abstract scenes mush together with the things I'm reading or find interesting. Eventually, exhausted at being stored they spill out, sometimes in the way I've envisioned them, other times I need to work harder. A tutor once told me making art was like being sick, only it was up to me to pick out the carrots - for a long time I've been concerned with the carrots but now I'm beginning to refocus on the sick.

Big, bad giant, Bolster, terrorises villagers in Chapel Porth on the beautiful North Cornish coast

Bolster and St Agnes
In the time of giants in the Penwith area there lived a particularly troublesome giant called Bolster, who was of such enormous stature that he could stand with one foot on Carn Brae and the other on the beacon near St Agnes a distance of 6 miles. Bolster himself was a terror to the surrounding countryside, stealing sheep and cattle from the ordinary Cornish folk.
At that time in the same area lived St Agnes who was a pillar of early Christianity. Bolster became infatuated with St Agnes and eventually fell in love with her. Tired of the attention of the giant, and wishing rid of this evil brute, she asked him to prove his love for her by filling a hole in the cliff at Chapel Porth with his own blood. Bolster considered the task to be easy due to his huge size.
Bolster went up to the cliffs at Chapel Porth, plunged a knife into his arm and waited for the hole to fill with his blood. The blood continued to pour and eventually the giant lost so much blood that he died. The hole actually led from the cliffs into the sea, a fact that St Agnes knew about but Bolster did not. The blood of Bolster is said to have stained the cliffs at Chapel Porth and the red mark is still visible today.
