...girl presenting herself in the grave light of the North Sea, called simply "Kolobrzeg, Poland, July 26, 1992," has nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with how a teenage body can be spindly and awkwardly canted but still have the celestial bearing, the beckoning power of a Renaissance Virgin...
While I am not such a conspiracy-theorist to believe that the University is deliberately trying to subvert the aspirations of its art students, the school must become aware of the power of what it does not say or do.

On the other hand, the wood stove in the kitchen radiates efficient gemutlichkeit--a cloying heat, like the house on a Thanksgiving afternoon that...
