Within this artwork, Hogarth intertwines his own personal experiences with new religious movements that echo a naïve vision of the past, distorted by disaster. These common tales of war, peace, death and love are tales than span aeons, from our collective past to our defunct future.
Set at Jarman's Point (formally the coastline connecting Folkestone to Dungeness), to a backdrop of cataclysmic sea-level rises and a mass extinction of most animals, humanity has regressed to a new dark age.
