Our arts correspondent Terry Cotter The Potter and his unique insight into the world they call “Art”.
Hello,
My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.
I have been potterising for over 20 years and stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.
1. Painting
The Creation Of Adam – Michelangelo stuck this on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. I got a crick in my neck looking at it. Why didn’t he paint it on the wall?
2. Movies
The Exorcist - Devil visits a girl, she vomits pea soup, is potty mouthed and finds a new way to use a crucifix. Max Von Sydow sorts it out. Goes on a bit (I think – had me eyes closed most of the time. Slept with the light on that night!) – by the way Devil spelt backwards is lived.
3. Music
Back In Black – AC/DC - Titchy Australian dresses up as schoolboy and a dwarf Geordie in a cap perform songs about their giant penises and the pleasure their todgers bring to women whilst they down fifteen bottles of whiskey a night. Goes on a bit.
4. Literature
War And Peace - Tolstoy - There’s a bit of war then a bit of peace. Then a bit more war and then a bit more peace. Goes on and on and on and on and on for a bit.
Village News
The vicar’s wife has darned the net and so the annual table tennis tournament will take place this weekend in Budgen’s frozen food section. First prize will be a packet of Quorn Sausages.
‘Til next time – The Wheel Keeps On Turning!
