Printed paper over boards, 11 1/4 x 14 1/4 in. Includes a foreword by Terenece McKenna, an introduction by Timothy C. Ely, and an interview with Ely conducted by Steven Clay. This publication is a reproduction of a one-of-a-kind hand-painted and bound book by Ely completed in 1985. "In Tim Ely's world, we meet the book as artifact, as concrescence of cognitive process . Words, signs, maps, and the presence of hidden energies all combine into a course of visual epistemology. This is a Grimoire for our times, a book of angelic conjuration. The original flight into Egypt was angelically inspired and so, too, is this work. All angelic messages are recast by human intent, by which means they become comprehensible. 'Every angel is terrible,' wrote Rilke in 'The Duino Elegies.' Never more so than now at the end of our history. The Flight into Egyptis ultimately accessional and alchemical. To experience it leads to a rarefaction and an internal integration that is the essence of art and life." Terence McKenna, from the foreword. Fine condition with publisher's translucent printed belly-band, also fine.Though uncalled for, signed by the artist.

Condition: Fine. Signed Limited First Edition. First edition. An artist's book containing drawn and painted images by Timothy C. Ely, set against text written by Terence McKenna, with typography by Philip Gallo. From a limited edition of only 75 copies, signed by McKenna and Ely. Of those 75, there were 55 numbered copies and 20 hors commerce copies lettered G-Z, and this is copy letter O.

Fine. In 1991, McKenna visited an exhibition at Granary Books featuring Ely's work, and this collaboration would result. A fantastic push and pull of Gallo's refined typography set against Ely's abstract watercolor, offering a visual landscape for the eye to wander, perfectly paired with McKenna's text on broad themes such as art, language, history and nature.
