Mythology is narrative's birth; it is the imagination's primordial attempt to overlay a structure on life, to give an architecture to these things only seen obliquely and sensed peripherally. During the past five years, I have consumed all manner of mythology, fable and fairy tale. I am intrigued by how these works--which purportedly arise from the mists of pre-history--manage to capture the purest essences of the human experience--loss, love, obsession, hate, and others--at such an early time in our existence. Using a reoccurring cast of characters--Popular Charlie, Sometimes Girlfriend, Zuke, Root Baby, Daddy Blackneck--I attempt to create the parallel, irrational experiences of both life and mythology.
