From A Contemporary Book of the Dead"As these images pile up on your retina they reinforce one another in ways that make you feel that everything has its reflection and its shadow, that one life is always doubled in another. At the same time, the medium, painting on thin pieces of papyrus, suggests the fragile wrappings of mummies, the shrouds of tombs, the survival of ancient wisdom."
