‘Dave’, Pastel on Ingres Paper, March 2010. A devotee of Alastair Crowley, and walking encyclopaedia on Ancient Egyptian Cosmology, I see Dave nearly every day. Dave has worked with me on several events and we discuss ritual, art, psychology and religion at length regularly. Severe dyslexia prevented him gaining any HE qualifications at all. Does his presence in my peer group help or hinder my application?
