Strange Scribblings 1

“The Grotesque, the Weird, the monstrous, the strange Scribblings of Nature learning how to write” Marcus Clarke. The A is for Ancient, Aboriginal, Australia, it is surrounded by symbols from my personal iconography while also universal: sun, moon and stars, snake, fruit bats, a suggestion of Aboriginal body painting and backgrounded by patterns drawn from quilting that also resemble rrark.
