Praise for Marta Wakula
Marta Wakula combines a fresh eye and a wry sense of humour with the printmaking and drawing skills of an accomplished artist: the result is a provocative and intriguing collection of images from the world of observation and the imagination.

“The old crone opened her door and went in and locked the door behind her. She lit a dim lamp and for a moment was relieved that she could see clearly again. Then she wished she couldn't see at all, for the soft stiff thing she was holding was her dear cat, Francis, and he was dead, his poor neck broken. And stuffed inside the pretty little collar that she had bought for his sixth birthday, inside the pretty little collar round his poor broken neck was a crudely scribbled note: KEP YOR MOUT SHUT OR YOR NEX.” |

“The bearded lady stood up. Her undoubtedly female crotch was completely hairless. Slowly, and with dignity, she walked naked from the tent, to the wild applause of the audience. Some even threw more coins on to the stage. The limbless man picked them up with his tongue and deposited them in the dwarf's cap. . The dexterity with which he did this caused more and more coins to be thrown. It was worth every penny to see his wriggling body, his curling tongue.” |

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
