“Helter Skelter”

“Helter Skelter” – Acrylic and ink on paper, 50cm. x 70cm.

The title came from the sixties White Album, but the image was inspired by a recent Paul Macartney concert.

Could I be going around in circles on this hectic fairground slide?  Where the satisfaction of conquering one challenge of Parkinson’s disease, is soured by frustration.  Knowing that I am riding the slippery spiral,  Helter skeltering towards many more challenges.

To quote the words from – Lennon / Macartney.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide

Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride

Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.
