This Is Inner Space









...the concept of Tau... the world of inter-atom... 

It was an area of  non-logic which only grudgingly conceded a place to man and his fallibilities.

Caught in a twilight world somewhere between between death and the edge of life, they hung at the very fringes of endurance in a state of mental and physical chaos.

From The Archive


 There are a few pencil sketches from 1966 in the archive. This rough drawing of The Temptation of St Anthony is probably the earliest. No doubt this frenetic, proto-convulsive figure is really a Damned Poet struggling with his or her inner demons - the first example of a continuing theme.
