What you will find

A journey
with clear provenance.

  • The adversary and accuser in their biblical contexts; literature and later reception.
  • Images, signs and classifications: workshops for recognising the function of each documentary source.
  • Sixteen contemporary operations, preparation, farewell and recording, with sources establishing their provenance.

You can follow the historical journey without doing the practices. If you choose to explore them, you will find contemporary compositions clearly identified as such, with preparation, practice and closure.
