Mule of Veneers 

 

The game renders the facade a site,

A landscape of deployment. 

 

The characters of entrance, exit and ornamentation,

Will inhibit and reside; 

The architectural symbols and systems,

migrate within conventional order and position. 

 

The mule forms a vertical waterside,

A pool of architectural motifs;

Housed by gridded Edwardian abstraction, 

And material block confinement.

 

Exquisite connection, combination, contradiction

Pedestrian presentation of surrealist exacerbation 

Printed clay or sand alterations,

Sheen or coarse effect

 

The individual explores language;

The individual contributes to system. 

 

Edwardian aspiration of idealized community;

Replaced by a pool of Veneers.
