Visions around the Seated Dreamer
A man sits in a wooden chair beside a smoking vessel, looking upward into a field of pale, drifting forms. The chair’s solid arms and the figure’s dark clothing anchor the lower corner, while the visions occupy most of the image. The illustration accompanies Perkins’s The Crucible of Dreams. The composition follows the movement from a material source of smoke towards the imagined company above.
