Contains drawn and painted images by Timothy Ely and text by Terence McKenna.
The images comprise colourful abstract explosions of colour, combined with more refined graphic elements and calligraphic symbols. The rich visuals sometimes seem to allude to ancient languages and maps.
The text explores large themes such as history, nature, art and language.
The dark binding is covered in blind-tooled graphics and pock marks and also features a small brass plate.
NAL copy is number 26 in a limited edition of 55, signed by the author and artist.
