About this artwork
This image depicts pareidolian, archetypal and mythological entities, gathering to listen to a reading from the book of life, conducted by the invisible mask-wearing Psyche. With a copper engraving-like meticulousness, reminiscent of the old masters such as Albrecht Dürer, an exuberant continent of world phenomena is described. Gathered, in
a princely setting, a miracle arena of wonders biological, mineral and atmospheric are seen, along with cultural… artefacts, past and present. These are displayed in a psycho-physical pandemonium, reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch, Dali and Max Ernst. Surreal scale jumps between large and small heads, figures and architectural fragments, suggesting a dream world and an alternative dimension of physical laws, rather than those of this realm of pragmatic reality.
