As I have mentioned, I began to see everything in terms of the arbiform and toroid; but later simplified this to the hourglass. So, it's a parody of the psuedo-scientific and the so-called spiritual path, the "way" - the supposed divine knowledge supported by the esoteric schematics of the mystics, shamans, and the contemporary "New Age," wican and pagan cultural developments. The pun of course is in the "Book of Hours -" the suggestion of an illuminated holy book to keep by the bedside for comfort and prayer. Very promptly, however, text became secondary in my images, as labels, quotes and captions - thus the intertextual nature of what little narative can be discerned by the viewer/reader.
