Ithell Colquhoun’s work stands at the crossroads of art, magic, and social reform. Rooted in landscape, myth, and the living intelligence of matter, her paintings and writings speak powerfully to contemporary longings for depth, enchantment, and ecological relationship.

I love this Taschen volume. I see in these pages evidence that even when partly instructional or diagrammatic, to approach the opus through creation of imagery with sincerity of intention in one's heart, is an act of transmutation. Mysticism and alchemy approached through art is a truly fascinating area, and has been at the heart of my own work from the beginning.
