Mercuria Ch. 2: Prima Mythica

Prima Mythica
Mercuria Vol. 1 — Chapter 2

An experimental publication inspired by names of Mercurian geology, wherein craters named after artists, writers, and musicians commingle in space with ridges named after scientists. From the systematic to the subjective, Mercury makes an appearance across diverse fields of inquiry, creating connections between starkly disparate disciplines. From astrology to geology and from myth to medicine, this shape-shifting quicksilver is the source of the word mercurial.
