Commissioned to develop a sculpture, the artist instead found herself attempting to define the space around it. What use is a sculpture without a room, a world? She’d asked her gallerist who reminded her that the municipal client had come with a certain budget. Your job is to make things, the gallerist seemed to misunderstand, […]

Ike
Artwork by the author and his daughter, Freddy O’Malley The only friend I ever heard about was Carl. They played golf on Sundays, out around Wentzville. It happened once, maybe twice a year that Dad would win, and then he’d hurry home and drive me or my mom over to Carl’s office to get our […]
from “AND YET”
from And Yet * Celibate that first year in the Midwest I felt relief from my libido and inherent male gaze launched outward. Leaking its covert imagination everywhere, especially on women, I felt relief from the (sexual) daimon constantly prowling along and inside me. This isn’t to say, though, that I felt any more civilized […]

In between these towns, I often find myself alone on dark roads lined with endless trees, literally driving through another void, uncertain how long […]
Please Scream Inside Your Heart Pt. 1
This is a silly regret, as they all mostly are, but I sometimes wish I kept some kind of archive of the media that held some significance for me in deep lockdown. One video that would have definitely made the top ten list is one that came out in the middle of the summer of 2020. […]
