« Desmond », may 2026

Figures formed from the alchemists’ still
The guts of mammals
and hollow hill
The grinding of life in the pestle brain
Forming a landscape
Again and again
To people the land with biomorph creatures
To snake through the study of earthlings’ features
To trace trajectories down to extinction
To watch man and beast
Is our fate and our fiction

John Richardson

The Visitor, 2007, « a drawing that I gave to Desmond Morris in 2007. Desmond often referred to it as it has an insect’s rear portion and this appealed to Desmond. »
