In 2005 artist David Gough left his English roots to live and work in America.
Affected by what he saw as extreme fundamentalism in the media, he began a series entitled The Theothanatos Series, which would deal with broad questions of religious dogma and human origin.
However, as the series developed, he began to confront more existential questions of his own mortality, bringing to the forefront memories of personal loss, and an obsession with both the human skull and the number three.
This volume presents twenty-five works as well as the annotations and recollections that shaped the series.
