So I have been stumbling, rapidly, over my words again and thought that perhaps it was about time that I made a start on blogging on what interested me.
At the moment I am completely consumed (literally) by the idea of eating, and swallowing – in particular I am struck, continually, by Ann Hamilton’s piece Malediction. Which seems to literally act as a feast to my senses. When I think about it, I can almost envisage demarking the non-spaces in my own mouth, feeling the flesh of dough in my throat. Marking out the silent mouth with this substance, which draws in the moisture and saliva from my tongue and layering this dough swiftly into a basket beside me, before proceeding to continue to digest the rest of her work.
Over the course of the next few posts, I hope to somewhere establish my position and terrain of what I am interested in, and where I hope this site may go, but at the moments, my thoughts are still very much taken with consumption.
Here is a link to the piece:
