Eternally Damned is a unique accordion-style artist’s book. Images are spray-painted and collaged, covers are cloth-covered boards, lined with Nepalese Lokta paper. The book illustrates stories from classical Greek mythology about unlucky mortals and others who offended the Gods of Olympus and then suffered eternal damnation and punishment for their transgressions. On the back of each collaged panel, each unlucky transgressor’s story is told, including: Prometheus, who was chained to a rock and attacked by a liver-eating eagle every day for eternity; Arachne, who was turned into a spider after boasting she could weave more skillfully than Athena; and, Sisyphus, who was condemned to eternally push a huge rock up a hill, never able to complete the task, his punishment for deceiving the gods.
