This Thing of Darkness

<p><em>This Thing of Darkness</em> is a constantly floating narrative blending dream nightmare memoir theoretical enquiry (philosophical and psychoanalytical) in the form of a scrapbook. Wittgenstein's <em>On Certainty</em> provides paradoxically an anchor throughout the book. 'Paradoxically' because his work profoundly questions any beliefs assumptions ideas or concepts of certainty.</p><p><em>This Thing of Darkness</em> which gained an Arts Council Award is where image and text create overlapping metaphors; where colours symbolise layers of the conscious and unconscious mind in an almost playful attempt to understand the long-lasting and devastating impact of trauma.</p>
