Fiction. Art. The Log Book of a lone Astronaut/Psychonaut/Holonaut in a holographic exploration through space and time to an extremely large planet in the distant recesses of an unknown galaxy-resembling in many respects a human eye (named Ocularis). Mimetic in character, it has somehow focused its gaze on the Earth and its water and has consequently created weird and wonderful organisms in its vast internal fluid-filled centre.

Industry Reviews

"... a visual meditation on the beginnings/end/beginnings of life without humanity’s fixed points. At a time when our Earth seems on the brink of extinction or a long downhill slide, this book is refreshing in its purity." - NOT ANOTHER BOOK REVIEW

“Pyper’s use of a loose narrative structure positions his work somewhere at the intersection between fine art and comics. Fans of the psychedelic grotesqueries of Jim Woodring, the disturbing biologies of Michael DeForge, or the complicated interplay of text and image in Marc Bell’s work will all find much to appreciate in Pyper’s illustrations... Codex Ocularis uses the eyeball as an emblem of human limitation: a disquieting reminder that the world we think we see is really a distorted miniature that we create inside ourselves.” - NATHANIEL FORSYTHE, STRANGE HORIZONS
