His objects and installations hope to explode process into an embodied visual narrative, a manifestation of our inner life.Īrtist Statement: My recent work is rooted in personal curiosity about how small, specific stories from my life as a queer person in the deep south of the United States might lead to wider conversations that become large installations and cloth prints that serve as axis points of innumerable relationships.I find political agency through the use of upcycling everyday clothes and constructed objects from thrift stores/trash/foraged materials. The work he creates function as spaces that allows the viewer to be guided through a thought process as well as evoking time and journey/text and image in an intimate fashion. His current works are explorations (visual) and meditations (poetry) centering on his ideas of spirituality, queer identity, death, shelter, and hope.

![]() ![]() ![]() It remains unclear what - if any - changes Robbins made to the property beyond the cosmetic alterations typical at this price point, though the much-increased pricetag indicates some extensive interior renovations were undertaken. The Robbins estate, by contrast, makes do a relatively modest. What’s even more eye-popping about this latest transaction, however, is that the Isidor Eisner estate includes a much larger house - more than 15,000 square feet of living space, per tax records - on a double lot spanning more than 1.5 acres of flat land. About two years ago, he sold the estate to Robbins and James for a relatively paltry $12.4 million.Īnd the $19 million deal easily blows away the neighborhood’s previous-record holder, the 2015 sale of Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas’s storied Isidor Eisner estate, which went for $15.95 million to Netflix COO Ted Sarandos and his Beverly Hills-bred wife Nicole Avant. In 2007, the property was acquired by prolific TV producer John Wells, who kept the old-world architecture intact but added more contemporary conveniences to the inside. ![]() Sold by Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James, the hulking structure was originally built in 1925 and sits on the premier block of what is arguably the neighborhood’s best street. ![]() ![]() The Bring Me Their Hearts series is best enjoyed in order.

In Part 2 of his Rashomon-structured epic, it’s her version and her time. We first met Sogolon in Book 1 of the trilogy “ Black Leopard, Red Wolf,” in which she was the antagonist - the obstacle faced by the preternaturally gifted shape-shifter Tracker as he courses a fantastical kingdom in medieval Africa in James’ pointed revision of the Eurocentric fantasies that dominated this genre over the last century.īut this, James immediately signals, is Sogolon’s story. Sloshed by his robust language, readers are plunged into a shocking cold bath of violence perpetrated against a girl. In the second book of his Dark Star trilogy, James coaxes beauty from dark thoughts, leaving readers with a concaved, mystical and African-inspired world that begins in free-fall. With “Moon Witch, Spider King,” Marlon James is that writer. Writers of elevated and candescent fantasy hold a mirror to the worlds they live in and are master architects of the worlds they create, slanting reflections like a carnival fun house.

The French, Italians, and West Germans were all cognizant of the possibilities offered by the electrical weapon, and prepared their fencers accordingly. The change in this direction has, in fact, already begun and was clearly evident in the 1990 edition of the Trofeo Luxardo. In other words, the electrical sabre is taking us back to the past, when sabre fencing resembled duelling practice. Instead, we shall, very likely, see a return to the sabre fencing technique of the Radaellian school, with point attacks, circular parries, and complex fencing phrases consisting of counterparry ripostes, actions on the blade, renewed attacks, counterattacks to the advanced target, countertime, and the feint in time. No longer will extended running attacks with multiple cut feints be effective. With the advent of the electrical sabre the current method of fencing, based on the standard weapon is obsolete. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Immunity Index ( 2021) understands Near Future America, riven by Pandemic and governed irresponsibly (see Politics), as having plunged into Dystopia.īurke has for many years been active as a translator of sf and other forms of Fantastika from the Spanish, including Angélica Gorodischer's Prodigies ( 1994 trans 2015), and many individual stories by various authors.
