Expanding upon the text, my diagrams merge dimension, perspective and orientation; producing a cartographic tangle that is at once open-ended […]

For three days I wandered the labyrinth of Jean Ray’s 1943 novel, Malpertuis1, fumbling my way along its gloomy passages. These notes are my only recollections; vague sensory impressions from a story told by an idiot, a tale of sound and fury that unravels in darkness, its cloistered spaces repulsively damp, brought to life via […]
