Description ▲
Fiction. An avant-garde novel that is equal parts cinema and static visual art, removed from the 'movements' of storytelling and left with layer after layer of texture and color, a film in words. This is essentially the art of Elias, a poetic barrage of memory, dream, hallucination, which shows the minute gears of an active, aware mind. This book, which is dedicated to Marjorie Cameron, continues Elias' homage to all aspects of femininity. Cameron is represented as a Goddess Mother (et al) in this work that is the most 'religious' of all Elias' thus far. There is a pleasant breeze that stirs in the lines of the text, a benign spiritual experience painted in basic, repetitive, and always textured, strokes.
