Description

Very crude sketch to illustrate a kind of "forced hypnagogic" image from a couple of weeks ago. The original idea of a headless "radial tripod" turtle morphed into this scene of people sheltering below it in the desert. I had the impression that generations ago the tribes had lived inside these organisms and perhaps used them for transport, but that something had changed to deny them internal access--a mutation in the gene generating the proper signal pheromone, for example, or a tactile code sequence lost during a time of cultural upheaval. Now the people can only huddle beneath the creatures, rather than finding refuge within.
