all i’ve got is time for myself so
well yeah.
that is a SAD DOLL!
reading the Phoebe Gloeckner piece in the June 2010 issue of the Believer. in it she discusses why she chose to use dolls as models to draw the illustrations for her most recent book. and i totally get her point.
p.47
“Anyway, I always read photo-novellas, because you can learn a language that way, colloquially. You see what’s going on because you see the pictures. I thought, Well, I could just make one with dolls. It’d be really quick, and then it wouldn’t have to be in my head so long, and the dolls could be all bloody and die, and I don’t care, because then I could just wash them off, and they won’t be really dead. As if they would be alive. They wouldn’t be alive because they are dolls, but it doesn’t matter. I was just trying to make it easier, so then I started experimenting with dolls”.
later she discusses the future of e-books. she wants to be able to turn a physical page. there she lost me. i am not about replicating physical experiences digitally. but maybe that is just personal preference.
