Michael Fortescue
The miniatures in the first part of this book all involve perspective. The perspective in all of them is in one way or another unusual: sometimes frame by frame, sometimes macroscopic, sometimes microscopic; sometimes it is the thing perceived that does the perceiving, and sometimes two or more perspectives are superimposed or blended. The metamorphoses of the second part are less to do with transformations of beings - divine or otherwise - than with the metamorphoses of words, by association of meaning. In short, the volume as a whole constitutes a divertissement of intertwined ideas and images.
