From the heart of darkness erupts an uncontrollable violence. The image of the erupting volcano symbolises the dark inner space and the surfacing of that red-hot heat. The theme of violence of the dark heart, that we fear and loathe, has been presented famously in literature, for example, in Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano , Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness , and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas . All of these works jumped to mind when I came to examine the way the creative work emerged, the type of anger it represents, and the purpose of such anger.
