...but then suddenly I tripped and fell down that deep dark hole again.

I screamed on the way down. And I saw the strange engravings on the walls of the hole as I fell.

But then somehow I was back at the school. That mean old principal had locked me in a room again. The door slammed shut. Now I was isolated away alone, and I wanted Mommy. There was a reddish pattern on the floor like on a rug. The pattern began splitting in the center, and a yellow and purple flower like pattern came through. Then the floor opened up and I was falling again through waving color patterns.

Strangely enough, a hole opened up in the center. And I found myself falling down an elevator shaft in a tall Bank of America building. Below there were semi-transparent rooms in a purplish glow.

Then it changed partly back into a cave and basement of an old jewelry store.These rooms were in a tight place in the cave deep in the earth. It would give anyone claustrophobia.

JW MacLean
Artist Pete Hampton, (1940-2018) was a wildly eccentric genius. He created slide shows of his paintings to tell the beautiful, and terrifying stories of his early childhood in the remote hills of Southern California. This work was re created from Pete's journals and the original paintings from 1961 through the early 1970's.
