'strengths' is the longest word in english with a single vowel. or so i believe! and it is one of the strengths of this piece that 'strengths' is embodied in the very movements of julu twine, which are in turn embodied in a series of still and moving images. when i finished inkblood i didn't know that ink would flow like that, or glow beneath the water, like so much slaughter. julu's entwined in symbols, caught in words mute with movement, so many token herds on the way to slaughter, beneath the water. every symbol tends towards awkward breath forgetting birth and on the way to death beneath the water, escaping certain slaughter. beyond their slaughter, breath of glowing words beneath the water, death of knowing herds. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
