I love a digression, honestly (ugh, poets 🙄) and this is so beautiful— my don’t-have-time-for-world-imploding-doing-anyway project is rooted in material culture, and the ways we assign meaning and cultural transmission to objects. The way you talk about puppets and performance hits on something deeply important to me. Thank you! ☺️
Oh thank you, Jen, for the kind note-- I am intrigued by this project-in-progress that you mention (needless to say, absolutely do it, art is essential!! blah blah blah) and really do recommend Kenneth Gross's book Puppet: An Essay on Uncanny Life from UChicago Press. And of course let me know if you ever want to, you know... talk about puppets... (insert embarrassed emoji/melting emoji). xox
