From: "toyin adepoju" View contact details To: "MARK DUNN" Dear Mark,
Thanks again for lettimg me know of your updating.
I expect you are rferring to the image and text for

WONDERLAND DAKINI CONVENT SCHOOL UNDER-GROUND

Its quite intriguing and demonstrates your trademark technique of cross-cultural imagistic fusion.Does the yantra you have used there have any particular meaning or rationle for its presence other than as a visual link with the Indian/Tibetan culture you are adapting from?Do you see it as valuable as a means of relating with the particular spirit or spirits to which the images and text are related as reinterpretaions of the Goetia,as the sigils of the Goetic spirits are relevant for?
Your work has earlier given new fire to my keen inteest in yantra and mandala theory and practice and I expect that to feature significantly in my PhD.
Could I knoiw why you think thenew image could be offensive to some people?It looks quite tame to me. Or were you referring to something else I might have missed?
All the best
Toyin
