ship in the film which, early on in his life, was subconscious. While he was still a child he made a vow to become an architect so that he could design flying saucers, although he did not become a registered architect until he was 50 years of age. Work Painted on large canvases, the majority of Paul Laffoley's paintings, combine words and imagery to depict a spiritual architecture of explanation that addressed concepts like dimensionality, time travel (through 'hacking' relativity), connection of conceptual threads shared by philosophers through the millennia, and theories about the cosmic origins of mankind. Laffoley's writings as well as works of art were published in May 2016 by the University of Chicago Press in a new book entitled The Essential Paul Laffoley edited and texts by Douglas Walla, with further texts by Linda Dalywimple Henderson, Arielle Saiber and Steven Moskowitz. British writer Michael Bracewell, in his collection of essays entitled When Surface was Depth observed: "If Laffoley's work within the Boston Visionary Cell can be said to have one principal preoccupation - a common denominator of his eclectic scholarship and practice - then that preoccupation would be to understand the process by which one goes from becoming to being." Bracewell has also written that, "The Boston Visionary Cell, as a concretized manifestation of its inhabitant's work and preoccupations, describes the way in which a chaos of data - no less than a chaos of marble - can be sculpted by research to release the perfect forms within it." The Estate of Paul Laffoley is represented by Kent Fine Art in New York. Death Laffoley died on November 16, 2015, in South Boston, Massachusetts, of congestive heart failure.
