reopening soon :-)

you look inside my rotting little giveaway library and i ask you to enrich me

i've spent so much of my life pining for ideas, hedonic for stories, and feelings, and ways of being. more often now, my grip has loosened on the physical elements of these enclosed and interlinked structures, as you can tell i store them outdoors for anyone to take freely-- this doesn't mean i won't let go so easily of their metaphysical forms. i cultivate an unspeakable conglomerate of mediums inside me, where they may transform me, and inform how i exchange culture in this yard and beyond.

Here i ask you to consider enriching me with spectacle of value, with captivation of mind and spirit, with new perspective, and with comfort of course.

here you can see what has had an effect on me, in memory:

  • what i read
  • what i see
  • what i watch
  • what i hear
  • what i touch
  • what i visit

here are examples of both completed and partial epistemological enrichments that i hold dear:

SCUM Manifesto, Valerie Solanas
Compost After Reading, Cassandra Marketos
The Wax Child, Olga Ravn
Small Lives, Pierre Michon
RFD Magazine, issues 1-5
All past and future Chuquimamani-Condori NTS radio episodes
Youtube video of a guy presenting a naive and brilliant carpentry tool called the tick stick

lastly, here is where you can generally find me: 

this location doubles as my business mailing address and i will accept being enriched by you as an element of my business
