The Indefatigable Frog - Artwork by Andrew May."Dating from 1953, this is one of Dick's earliest short stories. The subject of the dispute is Zeno's paradox - about whether a frog can escape from a tunnel if each step it takes is half the length of the previous one..." |

The Turning Wheel - Artwork by Andrew May."Dick wrote this short story in 1954. I liked the central image of a turning wheel, which calls to mind the Wheel of Life from the Tarot pack, the Buddhist Wheel of Samsara, and the Feng Shui cycle of the elements." |

Monitors From Sirius - by John Meluch. (file size: 48K)
I first became acquainted with the Dogon/Sirius connection when I read VALIS in 1993. Upon reading Tractate 50, I initially believed that Phil had
fabricated the entire notion of three-eyed, amphibious, extraterrestials with pincer claws who visited an ancient African tribe called the Dogon.
It wasn't until last year (1999), that I discovered a very strange book while doing some research at the local library that my views changed regarding this matter . . .

Valis Rising - by John Meluch. (file size: 80K)
The idea for VALIS RISING was first conceived in 1995. Symbolically, VALIS as the rising sun, represents the illuminating nature of the novel on nine other novels which comprise a major portion of Phil's ten volume "metanovel".

Omega Est Alpha - by John Meluch. (file size: 74K)
The sun in the image is both the rising and setting sun as the act of death is also a new beginning. The gold icon symbolizes this notion also signifies the title of this piece: "Omega Est Alpha". The end is the beginning.

Cosmic Reverie - by John Meluch. (file size: 68K)
This image began as a very simple experiment: try to combine the figure of
Atlas with an actual photograph of Earth (Gaia) as seen from an orbiting
satellite. I hope that the effect on the viewer will also create a dream-like sense of wonder about the cosmos.....perhaps not unlike my own "cosmic reverie".

Madonna Serpentum - by John Meluch. (file size: 60K)
In creating the image of the Madonna Serpentum I am attempting to combine a
number of different traditions surrounding the symbol of the serpent which
has had almost nothing but evil attributed to it by Christianity.

A gnostic inspired image, EROS uses the interior of Amiens Cathedral as a backdrop. Combining unlikely symbols and familiar images, the real interpretation of the image lies entirely in the
mind/imagination of the beholder.

Sophia - by John Meluch. (file size: 101K)
"With this image, I was trying to unite all of the possible opposites conveyed in the polyvalent image of the feminine. So much of this lies entirely in the mind of the beholder. To some this entire image is the height of blasphemy......to me it is a heiroglyph of the deepest of mysteries."
