Chapter XII

This is a letterpress printed page from The Book of the Erinyes, a handmade artist’s book that I have been working on since 2008.

They inhabit the hinterlands of the mind—the barren places and the abandoned ruins of memories nearly forgotten. These are the less-travelled paths, not the oft-revisited misdemeanours and conscience-wracked edifaces. They were a half-shadow moving obliquely across an almost forgotten remembrance of a room; an old face faded to obscurity; a past terror no longer dwelled upon.

Until I broke their rules and stared too intently into those forgotten places.
