Page of Enlightenment from The Ossified Theosophied
Hancock's work examines dualities of light and dark, or good and evil, through a surreal narrative tracing the activities of two opposing groups, the Mounds and the Vegans. Here Sesom, a Vegan, has a dream that shows him how to bring color into the Vegans' black and white world.
