This is an absolute beauty from John D’oh in amongst the treasure trove of column stencils under the M32. There is no overt political commentary as far as I can see, although meanings can be read into almost anything if you put your mind to it.

A cloaked woman is holding out a lamp, which is attracting some moths over her gently extended hand. This is actually a three-colour stencil, with a very subtle yellow white colour used in the lamp, and blended onto the woman’s arm and cloak. This is really nice work from John D’oh and rather touching. It demonstrates that sometimes overcomplicating things isn’t needed to create something beautiful and meaningful.
