Why subscribe?

Each essay here follows a thread between things that shouldn’t connect, e.g. a guitar tone and a Florentine ceiling, a comic panel and a liturgical manuscript, a mathematical surface and the feeling of walking through a train station at dusk. If that kind of thinking appeals to you, you’ll find something here.
