‘If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.’ ~ William Blake

dub: a copy of.
spectrum: the entire range.

dub spectrum is a DIY ethos spanning fiction, poetry and visual art possessing some similarities to English Romanticism and what the Japanese refer to as ‘yutori’ (meaning ‘spaciousness’). Among other things, it embraces the implicit qualities of imperfection. Walking is a source, especially in the woods: trees retain an enduring mythical, not to mention existential, symbolism and I am interested in how historically people have attempted to connect with the enigmatic spirit of nature through an embodied experience. I write under a pseudonym, Percival Alexander, which began as short prose pieces added to paintings and developed into writing fiction and poetry. Percival draws from a range of interests in literature and philosophy to centre on themes of despair and transformation in a suffocating world. Extracts from my debut novel Adrift in Amnesia can be found here. Extracts from my first book of poetry The Cycle Diaries can be found here.
