“What impels me to write to you all the time? … at every moment the order to write to you is given, no matter what, but to write to you, and I love, and this is how I recognize that I love.”
―Jacques Derrida, “Envois,” The Post Card

“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.”
―Roland Barthes, “Talking,” in A Lover’s Discourse

“Write to me only once a week, so that your letter arrives on Sunday — for I cannot endure your daily letters, I am incapable of enduring them. For instance, I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough.”
―Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“And when god comes for you
and asks were you brave
or were you a coward,
will you have loved,
open and always?
What will you tell her?”

“Once, I kissed someone and I’m afraid it ruined the world. I’ve learned it’s not what you do with the knife—it’s how you hold it after. But how do you hold something like that? Something that never stops baring its teeth; a voiceless dog, all bite, no bark.”

“Can anyone deny that we are haunted? What is it that crouches under the myths we have made? Always the physical presence of something split off.”

The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary is a fantastical creature that was once believed to grow sheep as fruit. The sheep was connected to the plant like an umbilical cord, feasting on the leaves around it. It’s a pretty cool / weird critter!

This is for the Fantasy in the City show at Ltd. Gallery, opening July 18th - you can see the vegetable lamb is growing right in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris!

Limited edition prints and a one off framed print are for sale here!
