ABOUT THE BOOK At the beginning of this dreamlike graphic novel, a
young woman's sleep is disturbed by a mysterious voice calling in
the night. She follows the sound into a forest grove where she is
inspired to weave a dress of leaves. As she adorns her garment with
one last leaf, it breaks and falls away, ruining her creation. She
collapses in frustration only to awaken as some other tiny self on
the surface of that torn leaf. She begins to explore her
microscopic new world under the moonlight, unaware that a
frightened, hungry creature, Samael, is growing on the darkened
underside of this leaf world. Scott David Finch's "A Little World
Made Cunningly" is a story about creativity built on the ancient
template of the Creation Story. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Drawing upon
images from esoteric Christianity, the syntax of postmodernism, and
Saturday morning cartoons, Finch's work demonstrates an interest in
the arcane strata below and beyond ordinary waking consciousness.
He often employs several parallel lines of metaphor at once in a
dense, layered visual language. After more than twenty years of
making large brightly colored paintings derived from photographic
imagery, during a creative block 2010, images of a woman weaving
leaves into a dress around her own body began to unfold in his
mind's eye. This narrative impelled him to devote the next year to
writing and drawing "A Little World Made Cunningly."
