Good Will Win (No Pagoda)

1979
(10 negatives)
Originally made for a  Louis Clarke L P, an arranger for the Electric Light Orchestra,  titled (per-spek-tive) JETLP218. The cover had his portrait and different sand where the lake/pagoda  is.

The re- worked version (with the pagoda) was later used as an Athena International poster entitled ‘Hallucination 2’

‘I sold a print of the original with the Pagoda which obviously they liked but later mentioned they would prefer it without. Simple matter these days to remove. For me it has lost balance and the memory of  that wonderful sunny day I shot the Pagoda in Kew Gardens London.’    Hag

‘How Things Are’ book commentary
Western civilisation’s chauvinism and greed – its self–importance and dogmatic belief that its religion, democracy and technology can be exported and forced upon the whole planet – ignores or worse still, destroys the richness and depth of knowledge embodied in other philosophies and cultures from which the West has much to learn. Our arrogance will backfire.
We live on one planet and our species will only survive by adopting attitudes of tolerance and respect for our different ways of being on personal, cultural and spiritual levels. Living needs to be in harmony with the natural world. I believe that good will win, for good accepts that there is no competition, but enough for all.
