The Oyster's Earrings: How to Disappear Completely

http://theoystersearrings.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-disappear-completely.html

Friday, 24 April 2009. How to Disappear Completely. The next two articles I have in mind are, to borrow David Byrne's words, 'kinda big'; so I am a little averse to undertaking them with exams ongoing. In the meantime, here is a review of the current exhibitions on display at Edinburgh's Ingleby Gallery. She has little else to do but study the room's eponymous wallpaper intently.

Friday, 27 March 2009. He Sees You When You're Sleeping. I thank Waldemar Januszczak for introducing me to the conspiracy theory (first expressed in Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's graphic novel From Hell. That Nicholas Hawksmoor's churches in London are layed out so as to sketch an enormous 'eye of Horus' symbol (or "Wedjet. Is but an early example, turned from being a symbol of reassurance and consolidation - God is watching us - to a symbol of obscurity and paranoia - "we're being watched! Well, I sup...

The Oyster's Earrings: The Golden Apple of Eternal Desire

http://theoystersearrings.blogspot.com/2009/05/golden-apple-of-eternal-desire.html

Flaubert's 'novel about nothing', features a wedding very early on, too. Early on. Boundless greed is the healthiest of narrative principles; our imaginations have been weaned on what Milan Kundera, in a short story of the same name, calls The Golden Apple of Eternal Desire.

The Oyster's Earrings: Lost in the Paradise

http://theoystersearrings.blogspot.com/2009/04/lost-in-paradise.html
