"I put the sawblade in place, then I started walking. As I walked my skinand cells were ripping. My skin fell off and then I saw my face nailed to thewall." So begins the astonishing journals of the late Hypermodern artistMary Church. There is an almost David Lynchian surrealism about the imagesin these diaries: they are full of creatures, demons, doppelgangers andmysterious shadow selves that she perceived as dogging her to the end ofher days. There are many cosmic journeys in these pages, both to the centerof the earth-unaccompanied by any Virgil-and to the exosphere surroundingit. Her body is put through one ordeal after the next, for one of itsrepeated themes is that of self-mutilation and physical dissolution into thecosmic Abyss. As she writes: "Blood is time as a substance...I absorb timethrough my pores." These journals cover only one year of Mary Church'slife, between the Fall of 2012 and the Summer of 2013, but it is a crucialyear of anguish for her, as she recounts her tormenting self-doubts aboutbecoming an accomplished artist. These diaries belong in the tradition ofDostoyevsky's Notes from Underground or Rimbaud's A Season in Hell. Thisedition now contains the art of Mary Church in FULL COLOR.
