Blacula and the Thematic Aesthetics of William Crain

By André Seewood

Galdr
By Paul Elliman

“In Cuzco, while traveling in Peru, I was offered a collection of Quechua bracelets. Dark and bright clusters of small objects strung together. Rough stone, medicinal tree bark, metals, feathers and seeds, beads of blue lapis and apple-green jade. One of the bracelets held a tiny piece of hand-carved bone, like the fragment of a miniature Galatea.”
