In Greek mythology, a Katabasis was the journey to the underworld and into one's shadow Self to confront and attempt to overcome elements of one's own psyche.
KATABASIS I is an art book with mythological and historical references that presents all the works displayed at the sold out menton3 Last Rites Gallery show "KATABASIS I" held during April 2014 in New York City.
The book includes developmental works that were part of menton3's inward journey to bring forth the images, as well as in-depth discussion and analysis covering experiences and understandings from the process of creating the pieces along with the presentation of Katabasis from mythology with a focus on the classic story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
