Feb 2008: Guest Editor Ralph LaCharity

The pharmakeus juggles syzygytic ineffability with aplomb, co-incidence lurks camouflaged in the rushes, and limbo has been banished by prelates
too wary by half. What we were seeking was the miraculous. We were in error to think there could be any guarantees.

You have assembled a smorgasbord of the possible. That’s what a feature is. What this feature is. Ancient Egypt’s corruptions articulated as minutiae
beloved on the sly. Even dust motes are collages, and we all know collages rule.

I stumbled into the burstnorm variations of Geof Huth’s rapt omniverse quite by the usual accident: I followed my nose.

NEW:Interview 2006 Art feature Fritz Kappler

    “...Visually, the “Bloom Baby” was born sometime back in the last part of the 19th century on the side of some baking product or something. The missus had one of those calendars that had reproductions of weird Victorian graphics and things; advertising, greeting cards, toys etc. And once I saw these things, of course, I wanted to incorporate that weirdness into my work because they just embodied so much of the stuff I love - anyway I referred to some of them in “A Magic Day Coloring Book” including the Blooom Baby. Since that time he’s popped up many, many times: on paper, canvas, wood, cardboard, I think even an ice sculpture, I can’t remember. That’s him in “Games For May”, “Mantra”, in blackface for “Blackberries” and a couple others. He’s currently out of the country and isn’t returning my phone calls."   .Open.
