Fascinating article. That Ave Maria, very impressive, reminded me of the work of Leonora Carrington or Remedios Varo. Interesting to see the scythe-like knife as her prosthetic right hand, like the ceremonial ones used by Druids to cut and collect herbs. I know a magician forger who makes similar ones. Being so sharp, I don't interpret it as a "hook" but as a knife.
This is really good: "That which dwells “among the untrodden ways” holds a deeper, darker sway than Hermes, who at least extended us the courtesy of a crossroads."
Hey I got lost reading this--and--I love Julien from following him on twitter...
But this article vivisects him in such a way that it seems he has now replaced Jesse Waugh (RIP) as my favorite living artist.
All compliments to you for writing in such a way that I can do three things at once:
* Remain enthralled with the subject
* Constantly open the dictionary w/ a 'right click'
and
* Know that I'm out of my league, but still welcome

You’re always welcome. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Luis. I also love that Virgin: “ave” as bird comes into play.
