''human life is concentrated bestially in the mouth’' ,
Georges Bataille, ‘La Bouche’, Documents, Paris 1930
Damp, jaggèd, like an old man’s mouth drivelling, beyond repair,
Or the toothed gullet of an agèd shark
T. S. Eliot Ash Wednesday (1930)
‘'the forces of the cosmos confronting an intergalactic traveller immobile in his capsule’'
Deleuze on Bacons Heads series
“The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery” - Francis Bacon
