The Demand For Power
This series is a traversal of the Tree of Life, a meditation on the thirty-two paths, a finite effort carved out of my days. Each piece a sketch, each minting a mark on the way. It ends here at Malkuth — the Kingdom, the ground — but endings are never final.
What you see here is a practice run, scaffolding for something larger I call TheWork. TheWork remains unfinished: a story that begins in 1989 with an adolescent imagining himself in 2025, and that spirals forward and backward through time. Two books of fragments, poems, and images. Inspired by Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience and many other things along the way.
Power obfuscates itself. Art reveals it. This is the close of a cycle, and the beginning of another. TheWork will continue — but if you want to see it take shape, if you would like to walk these paths as they unfold, collect the series and help carry it forward.
