Re: Seeking Japanese Weird

Re: carving

Étienne-Martin's sculpture Hommage à Lovecraft (1951-1956) initiated a whole series of works based on weird architectural spaces. I've posted three examples below. The second one, Celle qui veille...

Re: carving

I actually have a catalogue somewhere documenting most of Étienne Martin's Lovecraft-based sculptures and installations (or "dwellings" as he called them). If I can get my scanner to work, I could...

Re: carving

I also recommend you to check out the sculptor Étienne Martin (1913-1995). Several of his works were explicitly based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft.

Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground

Re: Time and Eternity in Weird Fiction

I shall have to get hold of that book by Torpor. Anywho, it struck me that Ligotti's "The Christmas Eves of Aunt Elise" is another(?) fine example of a storyteller trapped in circular time.
