Through-glass St. Paul’s text clarification;
Tagd I “Glory to God in the highest house and on earth peace”
Tagd II ” Jesus said “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”
St Paul’s Cathedral last night with Cameron’s OTT control goons in charge… whatever would JC have said – as he turned on his cross.

Through a glass darkly meaning.
“St. Paul talks in one of his letters to the church in Corinth (1 Cor. 13, 12) of ‘seeing through a glass darkly’. This basically means that whilst on this earth we can only have a poor glimpse of the Kingdom of God as if we are looking into a dark mirror (the ‘glass’) where the reflection is very poor ” – Wikipedia
* Artist’s note. Conspicuous by their absence, perhaps in “holy communion” with themselves… any of St.Paul’s pampered clergy defending even the people who were there to pray, from being dragged down the steps by riot police. It seems to be more than these ecclesiastical wind bags’ pristine white collar jobs are worth, to be seen actinglike a good Christian, preferring of course to talk the Good Samaritan.

( featuring distorted composite views through drinks glasses’ bottoms )
Produced the following year after Through a Glass Darkly ( above) by M. St.Mark, employing first use in art of image-distortion by means of viewing through the bottom ( npi ) of a drinks glass.
Considering the London Dada 691 Shoreditch pop-in gallery, displaying Through a Glass Darkly is a short distance from the home of the two artists and from where they often sally forth on their weekend afternoon in-tandem walkabouts, “documenting life” in E. London..
