an immense reservoir of electrical energy

2008-02-15T09:18:00.000-08:00

..... "Thus the lover of universal life enters into the crowd as though it were an immense reservoir of electrical energy. Or we might liken him to a mirror as vast as the crowd itself; or to a kaleidoscope gifted with consciousness, responding to each one of its movements and reproducing the multiplicity of life and the flickering grace of all the elements of life. He is an 'I' with an insatiable appetite for the 'non-I', at every instant rendering and explaining it in pictures more living than life itself, which is always unstable and fugitive....."

charles baudelaire, Le Peintre de la Vie Moderne

first review for the devil's music

Possibly a case of mistaken identity. Apologies to Miss Dunn if so. I have never seen your work, only heard tell; perhaps we are doppelgangers, or the opposite poles of an entanglement phenomenon. Or perhaps not.

the palace of the postman cheval

2006-06-13T11:13:00.000-07:00

born in 1836, ferdinand cheval was a rural postman in france who dreamed of building an ideal palace that would "outstrip the imagination". for over thirty years he went his daily round of 15 miles with a wheelbarrow to bring home any stones of odd or fanciful shape. with rudimentary tools he went to work in his spare time, and built his palace - 85 feet long, 45 feet wide and 33 feet high. on it cheval set an inscription in verse form, which may be literally translated as follows:

all that you see, passer-by,

is a peasant's handiwork.

out of a dream i have brought

the queen of the world

titus is seven. his confines, gormenghast. suckled on shadows; weaned, as it were, on webs of ritual: for his ears, echoes, for his eyes, a labyrinth of stone: and yet within his body something other - other than this umbrageous legacy. for first and ever foremost he is child.

gormenghast, mervyn peake
