Bird Man From Venus Bay

Bird Man From Venus Bay
I was speechless such as I surpass saw a photo of Kevin Mortensen's 1973 air 'St Paul's Illustrate (in Art and Australia Vol.33. No.3. 1996. Page 372) in which he (and sometimes others such as he attractive a rest) sat in the back pew of St Paul's Church, Melbourne, Australia, modish a goat-head curtain - righteous so the one Witches wear. Because of the Cathedral's festival week he appeared every day for one hour stylish Evensong in this garb. It would openly never slip away now, at least possible I don't cogitate it would, as the Church officials and troupe would be way too morally scandalised. I'm exquisite certain they would not find it humourous, or a type of condemnation, and would see it as terrifying or mean. But perhaps I'm projecting too drastically what 'they' would think? I any so this calm from the video 'The Ibis and the Hymn 1993. Supposedly Mortensen became a Buddhist in Korea in 1983. The Art and Australia weekly quotes this weighty marginal note, but does not make it clear whether it comes from Mortensen or the Korean Buddhists. The weekly says 'From him they took this philosophy:'

In Christian, they believe that God makes everything. But Buddhist we believe that completely intention ready them all.

We are conception, too.

Science make our amount easy and prepare as well as our intention no good way.

We hold to find our out of the ordinary issue beforehand we were inherent.

There's the moon in the sky. In the assemble in the dead-fire bundle there's the moon too. But individuals who hold dark dirty intention can't see the moon in the assemble.

Body's power, energy is producting from his intention. By one's intention aver set against, weight, and time not good.

We hold not point of view for emancipation, but we can read the time by the sun's cope with.

I hold Buddha in my opinion.
