Piles of Time. Yasu Matsumoto

By Magpies on September 14, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

These works are the expression of such unusual phenomena that I think is created by the everlasting accumulation, or piles of time that are embedded in the process of forest growing.

Eris and her Apples of Discord

By Magpies on September 12, 2022 • ( 1 Comment )

If you ignore these apples, they’re small and harmless. But the more attention you pay them, the more you try to get rid of them, the larger they get, until they block your way entirely, or destroy you.

By Brian McHenry on August 29, 2022 • ( 1 Comment )

Werner’s Nomenclature of Colors and Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium

By Magpies on August 27, 2022 • ( 4 Comments )

Tom Titanic, A Cautionary Tale

By Alimunday on August 23, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

Both living on their nerves, growing thinner as Tom grew fatter, they refused follow-up visits from the authorities. She missed her post-natal check-up, and they did not attend the vaccination clinic. The authorities became concerned.
