does anyone know any detail on "nostalgia of mud"? i mean, apart from the maclaren/westwood shop...
like what i mean is, does anyone know where he got the idea from?
"The shop front was covered by a 3D relief of the map of the world made out of plaster & coloured a mud brown. The interior featured the cave like look of an archaeological dig. Scaffolding surrounded the walls, brown tarpaulin was stretched across the ceiling & a central pillar/stalagmite rose out of a pool of oily green liquid which bubbled primitively away.
Malcolm had said that the idea for the shop had been to make customers & passers-by not sure if the shop was open to the public because of all the scaffolding inside."

think in that vermorel book about vivienne westwood, there's something about the idea coming from france.
But I'm sure Maclaren got the idea from being in France.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-WakwakIn the Kitab al-Bulhan, the painting titled the ‘Tree of Waq Waq’ is rather extraordinary because it illustrates the way in which the all-female population reproduces and self-perpetuates. Female figures grow from the tree as if they mature like fruit until they are ripened and they drop to the ground emitting a cry that sounds like 'Waq Waq!'
upon asking it questions, its flowers would laugh, but it wouldn't understand human language and if they laugh too much, the flowers would wither and fall
Elm-fuck poem, Ed Sanders, 1966
in to the oily crotch
place dick
go up
kiss the gray white tree
fondle the crotch
sweet juice there flowing
to which you place the tongue
to suck the pulse of the
Hamadryad
come into the cool gray
bark the hair-gray color of Persephone
how difficult it is
to be fucked
in the volcano!
ahhhhh but how sweet
the elm tree's rheuming
gray bark made black
by the viscid
fluid flowing
out of the branches-
I place my dick
in the tight in-fold of the elm V
-heat of the summer-
fuck till the come drift
down thru the bark furrows
fuck thru the warm afternoon
Sperm steams in the sun
birds in the branches
sun shines thru
seed steam
thru
wing of butterfly
wetting its
furry fluttering tips
I have given myself to the elm
I have soaked the dryad's shawl
What a wonderful world,
a palace of gentle sexual aggression.
Tree baby!
how I love to rim
your bark slits
kiss the leaves
above your dripping
elm crotch oozing
at the base
I place my penis
over the mish
& slowly start to
shove it deeper
encasing it in to deep deep elm snatch
Let me sing
of a need to fuck
at once the tousled leaf elm
place the lingam
in wet tree oil-
slowly O lovely lady,
such care & kindness
-as when rabbit nose
snoozles a carrot-
but give it thrill jabs.
give it to her.
worship the Dryad
fill her with foaming
under the elm boughs
heavy in the summer wind
to fill all holes,
lovely longing lone lingam
plugging the vastness
Do you feel it, pretty humans,
& do you know
a tree-twat is as good as
a buttock
& the elm branch is the dryad's breast
