“From the first pages, it is clear that text and image are engaged in an open dialogue, unplanned but perhaps not unintended, in which essayist and artist struggle asymptotically towards an understanding of self, belief, meaning, and  against solitude, falseness, impossibility, nothingness. This book thus contains a philosophical dialogue, but unlike the Platonic exemplar, Philip and Judith’s dialogue is not a proclamation of pondered truth but an invitation to the reader to join the dialogue (from Greek Dia “across/between” and Legein “to speak”), no matter how intimate the language or personal the attempts of self-discovery. So open and honest is the art of each, so generous and genuine their voices. Their creative interaction encourages creative interaction. “
