Thesis: Eyeless creature turns out to be all eyes
'My work is a large scale chaotic map, in the form of a knitted tapestry, of a world that happens to resemble ours, filled with absurd characters, cosmology and space travel, contradicting philosophical messages and a whole lot of satire.
The tapestry is held up by three friendly yet puzzled wooden giants, and presented with a soundpiece.
