Battiss, WalterFOOK MEMORABILIABattiss started the idea of Fook Island in about 1954 but it only caught on in the early 1970`s. Battiss also created a Fook alphabet in semi-oriental characters. In 1975 Linda Goodman of the Goodman Gallery wrote of Fook Island as follows: "The trees there are quite small, so you don`t have to climb them to pick the coconuts. It has its own gods under the Great God Goob. It has six prehistoric animals and four domestic ones, and some insects. It has got its own postage stamps and of course a fookball club. And knives and fooks. A Fook has composed some Fook music, and Walter Battiss can read in the Fook language. Fook has its own recipes. We have only tried one. It is stuffed moonwhite trout with twilight sauce. It took eight hours to make but it was delicious. Fook cigarettes are being made in Pretoria and will be on sale soon. And there will be Fook wine. The well-known British artist Tom Phillips is designing the wine label," Linda Goodman said. "The unit of money on Fook Island is the ak. Ten aks are equivalent to R5 and for this fee you too can become a Fook. There are printed ak notes of various denominations and hand-engraved ak coins in sterling silver and gold." In this project, Battiss had Norman Catherine, the South African surrealist artist as a staunch supporter, Catherine painted the Island`s strange creatures with stripes and bumps, long noses, whiskers and spots. They are fun and not at all viscious as Goodman stated: "Fook Island is a place of peace... Fooks are pacifists, spreading love. We seem to live under the aura of King Ferd the Third (Walter Battiss), for he radiated gentleness... The whole purpose is to escape to the island where everything is love and everything is beautiful..." Fook Island is a place so different from a 9 to 5 existence that it transports its adherents to a world of fantasy and make believe. Fook is an imaginary, make-believe island... A place where the sewers are big enough to live in and of strange creatures. There are no criminals there. Anyone can be king or queen - you have only to ask. There are two elements which constitute Fook Island: the imaginary fun place and the fun articles made by Fook artists. The word Fook is derived from the word `Fake`. Battiss created this concept to counter the lesser realities of life. For those to whom life is just a hiccough in the morning, Fook offered the infinity of the mind: that part of every human being that does not just want to be." Comments: ? 12 Fook Island coloured postcards: eight are 18 by 13cm and 4 are 16 by 11cm. These were published by Norman Catherine in 1986 and are all individually titled on the reverse `catasnapper`, `giant fooka bug`, Fookvark`, `rhinocerook` and `dodofook` etc ? 2 x Fook Island `Lucky Rain postcards, 18,5 by 13cm with imprinted Fook Stamp franked blue ink imprint `Fook Island Fook is Free` ? 3 x Fook Island postage stamps ? 2 x Unused franked and stamped `Fook Island` envelopes ? 2 x Fook Island 10 aks banknotes, numbered and signed by Battiss.
