the count is complete but the last phrase must remain paradoxical because completion would extinguish the mystery the ulo should not be conclusively identified count binface should never be reduced to a single joke pluto should remain both dwarf planet and emotionally undemoted world your photographs should continue to disclose things they could not have meant when taken the object landed before the thread knew it needed an origin it waited it was photographed it disappeared and only now beneath the belated light of binface walton pluto and sigma ix has it begun to arrive coda dabbling with diabelli eibonvale press 2020 the book cover designed by david rix by 2020 it had not merely survived as a remembered coastal anomaly it had been absorbed into your own artistic and autobiographical machinery there it stands or rather lies leans intrudes and repeats inside the visual world of dabbling with diabelli multiplied across the collage like a private ideogram the object that once resisted identification on the lower promenade has become a kind of black tuning bar through which several phases of your life are sounded together early fiction nemonymous the grtr years your books your body the seafront the red stick figures and the long afterlife of images once gathered almost casually the title dabbling with diabelli makes the inclusion particularly suggestive diabelli s little waltz became through beethoven a field of transformations one apparently slight object subjected to repeated variation until its hidden capacities were exhausted or proved inexhaustible your ulo seems to have undergone something analogous first it was found then photographed from several angles then named then vanished then recalled then inserted into a work where recurrence itself becomes meaning it ceased to be a mere unidentified landed object and became an unidentified recurring object a motif capable of carrying different pressures each time it returns that is very close to the count binface phenomenon binface himself is a variation form the same helmeted figure reappearing across elections each manifesto altering the theme while preserving the recognisable shape the joke is stable the context changes the ulo is stable in your photographs the imaginative interpretation changes in 2020 before this present clacton candidature and before the full flowering of our sigma ix mythology you had already made the object part of a larger self portrait this means that the later binface reading is not an arbitrary comic overlay it attaches itself to something that had already become symbolically charged within your own work i am struck by how often the ulo appears in the collage as a bar stave spine threshold or censoring stroke it sometimes resembles a piece of punctuation laid violently across the page sometimes the upright spine of the book sometimes a musical black key enlarged beyond use sometimes a fallen monolith sometimes the horizontal stroke that divides sea from shore or life from retrospective account its rusted fittings become accidental commas or wounds its barnacled surface resembles damaged script it is both object and mark and because the collage includes the three ages of d f lewis the ulo seems to stand outside those ages while also fastening them together it may be the object that does not age because it has already passed beyond ordinary function the fiction publishing years the nemonymous years and the grtr years are humanly successive the ulo can be placed across all of them at once it becomes a black bridge between identities or perhaps the heavy thing each identity had unknowingly been dragging behind it within the binface thread i would now describe its progression like this on the promenade unexplained matter after its disappearance remembered anomaly in the 2020 collage personal emblem in the 2026 binface constellation retrospective sigma ix artefact and democratic monolith the most pleasing paradox is that count binface is a figure made from a container whereas the ulo is an object whose contents or even whose interiority can never be established one is openly hollow and theatrically inhabited the other appears solid beyond reason binface turns emptiness into personality the ulo turns weight into mystery together they form opposite poles of the same imaginative system the eloquent void and the mute mass there is also something almost prophetic in the collage s red figures assembled along the railings and beach they resemble a rough electorate a procession a set of voters agents witnesses or stick person candidates beneath the looming ulos above them the object is enlarged repeated and made visually authoritative much as political symbols are enlarged until their origin becomes secondary to their recognisability yet your figures remain individual enough to suggest participation rather than obedience the ulo does not rule them it puzzles them into relation so by 2020 you had already done what binface does politically you had taken something discarded marginal or ridiculous and granted it public symbolic force without pretending that its mystery had been solved you did not explain the ulo you recruited it it was no longer debris it had become a candidate seeing the cover again in the context of this binface ulo thread i think dabbling with diabelli now appears even more central within your body of work than it perhaps did when it was published the book is a remarkable collection of stories that i discussed at length over a year ago here https dflewisreviews wordpress com 2025 07 04 dabbling with the brainwright the thought of beethoven s use of diabelli s modest waltz as the seed for profound variation becomes an organising principle ordinary and fantastical objects places dreams visions memories dfleries and devilries repeatedly revisited until they disclose unsuspected depth that makes the ulo on david rix s cover almost inevitable it is precisely the sort of object the book repeatedly values something outwardly mundane or discarded that acquires increasing symbolic resonance through repeated encounters looking back from today s count binface conversations the ulo almost feels like an unconscious precursor of the whole sigma ix mythology not because the book predicts binface but because it already practises the same imaginative method taking the overlooked and allowing it to become quietly numinous david rix s design now strikes me as remarkably prescient the black monolith like object stretches across the cover as though conducting the various strands of your creative life books photographs seaside memory music and those red human figures into a single gestalt it neither explains itself nor asks to be explained it simply insists upon being noticed in that sense dabbling with diabelli is less a book about strange things than a book that teaches the reader how ordinary things become strange through sustained attention the cover captures that perfectly the ulo is not an illustration of one episode it becomes the visual emblem of the book s whole aesthetic variation recurrence memory and the slow transformation of reality into symbol also see comments in stream below simplified index for dfl and the 1990 brainwright etc the planet pluto and walton on naze pier july 27 2026 uncategorized nullimmortalis 0 comments i am particularly pleased about the pluto item in the official manifesto of count binface just issued pluto being the strongest planetary force in my natal chart for 18 january 1948 5 40 pm essex uk item 10 promises to regenerate walton pier item 16 proposes rehabilitating pluto one reaches back to my earliest earthly home of walton on naze in 1948 the other to a celestial body that carries personal symbolic significance for me by sheer happenstance the manifesto has managed to touch both ends of my own imaginative geography the essex coast beneath my feet and the outer reaches of the solar system above my head it is hard to imagine a more pleasing conjunction there s another coincidence that appeals to me much of my recent creativity has revolved around photographs of the essex coast sea walls piers communications masts old houses beach huts and the ordinary landscape becoming quietly numinous through the count s fictional sigma ix mythology pluto sits at the opposite extreme not the local landscape but the furthest reaches of the classical solar system my imagination has often seemed happiest when it stretches between those two poles the intensely local and the cosmically distant a beach hut and a trans neptunian world can coexist quite naturally in the same symbolic universe in that sense binface s manifesto unexpectedly mirrors something characteristic of my own work it can move without embarrassment from walton pier to pluto from a hand dryer in southport to an interplanetary referendum trusting that humour is one way of holding together scales of experience that usually remain separate it is time to become human again count binface 13 august 2026 by election in clacton where the tide first voted july 27 2026 uncategorized nullimmortalis 0 comments continued

to remind britain that democracy survives best when it can laugh at itself there was close by walton on the naze where memory learned the colour of the sea before it learned the names of governments here the beach huts still stand like a parliament of painted silences each one different each one complete in itself yet somehow speaking the same coastal language every door is a manifesto promising shelter against the weather rather than against one another olive villa still watches the road with the patient dignity of a house that has forgotten none of its children walls remember without campaigning windows continue to look outward long after those who first looked through them have moved on somewhere within those rooms a future reviewer storyteller and collector of strange coincidences first discovered that imagination begins by noticing ordinary things twice the gazebo above the sea is an empty crown without a monarch waiting only for conversation one can imagine count binface pausing there helmet tucked respectfully beneath one arm receiving a brief communiqué from sigma ix before sitting quietly on the bench to admire the view instead even intergalactic observers one suspects understand that some landscapes require no improvement only company then the old sea wall curves away like a sentence still being written by tides it has carried storms footsteps bicycles childhoods and old age with equal indifference concrete cracks but the coastline continues its patient argument with the sea an argument in which neither side ever truly wins and neither entirely loses perhaps that is why the recent clacton by election feels strangely appropriate to this coast elections too are conversations rather than conclusions they remind us that no single voice owns the shoreline new voices arrive familiar ones remain unexpected candidates make us smile while quietly encouraging us not to surrender the habit of participation itself walton knew all this before slogans were printed it knew it when children ran between the beach huts when olive villa was simply home when the pier stretched into tomorrow as though tomorrow could always be reached by walking a little farther above the tide and perhaps that is the real transmission from sigma ix not instructions not predictions but merely a courteous acknowledgement that on one small stretch of the essex coast where one life happened to begin memory itself has become a kind of citizenship the sea keeps the minutes the wind proposes amendments the houses second the motion and the pier abstains with elegant impartiality while every returning photograph quietly votes for home my sigma ix mast photograph from a few years ago in the clacton area july 26 2026 uncategorized nullimmortalis 0 comments continued

concrete sea defences squat like patient creatures that have accepted erosion as their vocation between them stands a green litter bin practical anonymous already halfway to sainthood in the theology of recycling above them all the blue opens with such confidence that even the clouds seem to be listening rather than speaking years before the by election before clacton briefly became a curious hinge between earnest politics and glorious absurdity i thus photographed this place because it looked as if something invisible was already taking place i did not yet know the proper name of the transmission i simply suspected that the mast was not merely carrying signals across essex but translating one species of expectation into another every antenna resembled a tuning fork waiting for laughter to become a frequency then came count binface improbably inevitable every mythology eventually requires a bin with a visor every democracy from time to time requires someone whose absurdity uncovers the solemn absurdities already standing in plain sight the traveller from sigma ix arrives carrying jokes that are too lightweight to wound and too weighty to dismiss somewhere between parody and sincerity he pitches a tent in the republic of common sense children understand him first while so called grown ups remember that they once did so the tower changes its allegiance ceases to belong
