Breathing becomes something like an obsession. Mimicking the dead, a grotesque habit. But I am afraid, and that is how I can fight my fears. This is the only way I know for the time being, or the only way I can think of.
I close my eyes, drift to an uneasy slumber. There is a road, I think. It is coming towards me and flows underneath my feet, but I have no sense of motion. It is the road that is moving, not I. When it stops, I see a shrouded figure at a distance before me. I have this vague impression that it is either me, or my grandfather. I feel a shudder course through my body as this creature passes through me, replacing me, and I wake up, unable to move or speak.
----------------------------------
A somewhat older piece, painted sometime in 2003 (or early 2004?), and related to even older events.
Acrylics (powder paint mixed with acrylic glue) on canvas.
[detail]
Included in Raster, Chapter #33.
This was also the cover for Laird Barron's The Imago Sequence, 2007, by Night Shade Books.
