ADAM BOYD

Untitled presents a series of panels creating a reflective void space, punctured and pictured with various states of scrawl and scrimshaw. Imagine returning from a trip around the Möbius strip, nothing was the same but I hardly knew you were gone. Your only friends along the way are monsters and scraps of text of an inverted logic. Only in this thought experiment, no one can hear your particles scream. Inside this wall of hovering shapes, a series of ghoulish heads can be seen floating in the void space, caught in the reflection, a reminder of our bounded, hobbled selves
