- Nicholas Usherwood from ‘The Edge of All the Land’ 1994An entirely imaginative and mysterious work, its central motif of flames constantly reappears in one guise or another throughout Eurich's career - the Fawley Refinery flame. mischief nights, bonfires and burning bushes to name a few of them. Here it takes on the character of a daytime hallucination of a kind which Eurich, according to his own account, used to experience occasionally as a child though never in this particular form.
