Exquisite Corpse Drawings by Karena Karras and Bernard Dumaine

MirrorRealms, the collaborative work by poet Anthony Mason, and surreal artist Karena A. Karras, hovers on the line between stark fantasy and our own grim realites. Mason's words and Karras' art could both easily stand alone. The fact that they are showcased together only heightens the intensity of both works and creates a unique world that is both beautiful and frightening. MirrorRealms contains almost 200 pages of surreal poetry and art. The intimacy of Masons's lines, matched with the honesty and boldness of Karras' paintings should not be missed by any fan of fantasy.
