"Beginning with the sensibility of the painter, Stephen Newton illuminates the psychic essence of ritual procedure as practiced universally since the dawn of man's self-consciousness. By drawing on his own radical experience as an abstract painter, Newton excavates the elemental inner processes that are finally manifest in the wider cultural arena. He locates the common roots of art and religion at the hidden source of timeless ritual and its cathartic transforming power"-- Publisher.
