Comments on: Marion Elliot’s Halloween Alphabet https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/10/27/marion-elliots-halloween-alphabet/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 27 Oct 2025 13:58:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/10/27/marion-elliots-halloween-alphabet/#comment-1836814 Mon, 27 Oct 2025 13:58:55 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=204844#comment-1836814 I feel triple-blessed today. Not only have I enjoyed exploring these wonderfully-concocted
images, but (as an outsider, looking in) I have the anticipated pleasure of researching/investigating some of the unknown-to-me traditions. PLUS, I have added Marion Elliot to a list of favorite
British artists……….Jonny Hannah, Ed Kluz, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Mark Hearld. (forgive any misspellings, folks) Some of the images evoke already-savored manias, such as “Ex Votos”
and “Sailor’s Valentines” but many of the panels await fresh exploration. I love Ms. Elliot’s wise ways with type, and her astute graphic illustrations. There is wise humor afoot here, but nothing “jokey” — thank you, GA, for making the introductions.

I’m very envious of those who will attend the exhibition! And can’t wait to look into the Lithuanian crosses. Has anyone checked out the bronze shrines by artists from Benin, carried on high, atop poles/staffs?
