#dracula errata

[another-chaotic-bisexual-vampire]

Was just reading the Sherlock Holmes story "The Final Problem" - and to escape some tenacious henchmen hot on their trail - Sherlock has Watson take a very specific coach "driven by a fellow wearing a heavy black cloak"

This Coach Driver is later revealed to be none other than Sherlock's brother in disguise

This story was first published in 1893

Bram Stoker was outlining, drafting, writing, & rewriting Dracula between 1890 and 1897

Dracula as Thinly Disguised Coach Driver is inspired by Sherlock Holmes

Artist Research and Experimentation

(25th January 2023)

Alongside Gothic Architecture, I have also been looking to take inspiration from literature and poetry. I scanned in pages from my books at home, works that may be considered Gothic, ranging from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven'.

I have been looking into artists that use book pages as their canvas.

Ekaterina Panikanova

in ‘Errata Corrige’ Panikanova attempts to visually rewrite the innermost stories of the human psyche by directly intervening on the pages of open books. Arranging old books, notebooks and prints from different eras into an irregular grid, Panikanova puts together an unconventional oversized canvas of interrupted surfaces. Laid out in groups, the books resemble pieces of a puzzle that appear to be interchangeable yet heavily reliant on one another, very much like the experiences and memories that collectively piece together a lifetime.

Cathy Cullis

Cullis is a mixed media artist. Her heavily embroidered pieces on book pages intrigued me greatly. Her style is distinctive and often defies categorization, and she’s been influenced by “an eclectic bric-a-brac of art and artists and things” that she’s loved over the years, including Eastern European animation from the 1970s, American folk art, outsider art, Medieval churches, shapes in nature, and child art.

Mascherine terminate.

Amuchina finita.

Alcool esaurito.

Guanti di gomma introvabili.

Ma non c'è da allarmarsi, dice il Conte (dracula?)...

Il coronavirus è come l'invasione: solo una percezione errata.
