The Labyrinth Beneath Your Feet is an artist book/zine that examines the artist's experience of having Long Covid in a world of Covid denial alongside a retelling of the Greek myth of the minotaur. The text is distributed throughout the endless hand-painted labyrinth. There are three narrative threads. One thread (bright red text) is from the point of view of the Minotaur of Greek myth, Asterius. The next (maroon text) is from the point of view of the artist and their experience of having Long Covid. The last (black text) is a poem about long Covid. The three texts intertwine across the work, conversing with each other across time, mythology, and reality to lament a common loneliness in being left behind by a world that finds your presence too uncomfortable or inconvenient, while also celebrating the unexpected kinship that can arise among the ostracized.
