Design and project coordination by Andrea Harris-McGee; photography by Eric Stoner and Ed Glendinning; printed by Permanent Printing Ltd., Hong Kong. Documents Myron Conan Dyal's (b. 1947) haunting and visionary sculptures, paintings, and drawings-works deeply rooted in autobiographical symbolism and his lifelong struggle with temporal-lobe epilepsy. Dyal's art blends mythic archetypes, spiritual transformation, and psychological revelation, rendered in papier-mache, clay, and paint with hallucinatory intensity. The accompanying essay situates Dyal's practice within the context of outsider and mystical art, noting his transition from secrecy to public recognition in the mid-2000s.
