Reviews
'A cabinet of curiosities and wonders'
'In life and art, love is the message, and The Book of Change brings forth the codes, keys and surreal visions leading to brighter days'
'Stumbling upon Ellcock’s secret universe, one’s art receptors attach to new images with new meanings, and one experiences a shock of awakening… He is breaking up our ossified ways of seeing and thinking. He is making it possible to start over, to start fresh, to blaze a new path through the endlessly fertile woods of reality'
'An absolute wow of a book… At times I felt uncomfortable, I was definitely challenged, and was left feeling that this book had taken on a life of its own within my thoughts and feelings. The Book of Change, so darkly beautiful and provocative, has been chosen as a LoveReading Star Book'
