Blake Project


Current William Blake Project entitled "Visualizing the Vortex"
A series of six water colour "prints" emulating Blake's work, with an eye towards illustrating the complexities of his more psychological concepts--the nebulous "vortex"





1. My reinterpretation of Blake's Book of Urizen, Plate 15
2. My imagined "Psyche" or "The Traveler Thru Eternity"






To the Eyes of the Man of imagination, Nature is imagination itself.
As a man is, So he Sees. As the Eye is formed, such are its powers.
You certainly Mistake when you say visions of fancy are not to be found in This World

-William Blake in a letter to Dr. Trusler
