'The Constant Library',  Volume XXX: "Void - in Art, Mark Levy".

"The idea for 'The Constant Library' follows on from a recent conversation considering which books had, and continue to have, the greatest affect my life in a variety of different ways. These are the books I can't live without and whenever possible I have a copy of with me wherever I travel in the world; my 'Constant Library."

I have chosen to include 'Void - in Art' at this time for two reasons: primarily because it feels very appropriate in terms of my current work and that primary reason actually sparks the secondary reason which is that although I have read it several times in the past, now, in consideration of my current work, seems like an apt time to consider it once again.

Within my work and thinking the idea of Void and the Sublime are closely associated, perhaps because in many ways the Sublime appears to reside within Void. From my past readings of the book Mark Levy's study of the concepts and expressions of Void chime very closely with my own which means that this reindulgence should be  either reaffirming or enlightening, or hopefully both.
