Letter to Readers
First a question, and then sharing a short email (I asked permission first). Then requesting a donation (if you enjoyed anything you found on Le Lapin), and sharing with your friends. Anything and all is appreciated, even nothing, but something is usually better than total abyss. The question is:...

Campania Felix
Having landed in Campania Felix, I begin to recover my life and work. Combined with support of my Italian ancestry, friends near and far, and my artistic research with Aesthetic Resonances involving Geological Empathy and Sublime Rheology; I shared an introduction to these ideas on air with...

Karma and the Percolsity of Concepts
Rose Petal Installation, 2024, Oslo, Norway. True story warning: if the anecdote of personal experience isn’t your favorite way of relating you will find your pupils at the back of your head here. If the strangeness of someone’s lived experience opens the possibility of discovering a detail,...

Reflections on loving forever
Think for yourself. Be careful around people who say you think too much. They may want to think for you. External advice can confuse your internal compass in a similar way magnets on either side of the compass can make the dial spin around. To recenter in stillness and go where you want to go,...

Respiration
As weathered skins grow paper thin the weight foreshadowed could only be for night To hide shocked currents of contrition Flowing from eyes drowned By deep wells bent into bones The sea waves salted command: lay loss, within the land And so the story Of rocks stilled by souls Grow to become faces...
-
Making it Rain
The idea that art is an elitist activity is a commonplace attitude. I’m not sure which is more dangerous, the idea or the attitude. Attitudes seem to change with greater ease than ideas, so perhaps the construct of the idea can be the culprit to the follied results of making art for a special...
-
A Dedication
If we cannot have peace in the world, perhaps love and beauty can save us. Remember evil is real. To deny or misname evil as human allows anyone to embody it. It allows the distortion of a lie to become animated by the hatred in the heart making blind eyes to beauty. Through the wetness of crying...

Waters Rising by Choice
What kind of reality do people want to live in? This question surely rests in an increasing number of minds. Relative to culture production, the advent of new systems permitting or butressing stews of cultural values calls a critique, or at least, an examination of how ideas and visions play out…

When the Earth Sings to Us
The Earth Sings to Us, a title by friend and curator, became When The Earth Sings to Us. The Artistic Research is at https://mariamman.net/aesthetic-resonances/ Here we gather, perched atop the world naming privilege as badge of honor for not we be heard but our ancestors appreciated for the...

Obliterating Worries
There is a strange seductive quality worry has to it. Worry masquerades as care. Worry invents conclusions and outcomes that usually do not come to pass. And if those worries do arise in reality, an exponential worry complex emerges. Rebecca Solnit had described worry as an activity claiming to...

Paris
The story behind the image: The original analogue film exposure is from Musée d'Orsay. The museum became my favorite in Paris. The image is a take on a historical image (you have probably seen before). Made in Spring 2023, during my Paris poetry residency through The Trélex Residency. This was my...
-
Structure
"Structure, in the making and demolition of form, when brought into light with the human relationship with environment makes outcomes of social relationships evident to me. The description of toxic masculinity can be ascribed to the absence of masculinity. The exhausting petulance of progressive...
-
Images versus reality
How to put this lightly? Dead butterflies not pictured. This was one of the editorial photographs printed on the cover of a Malibu newspaper of a fundraising event for a tragic death, that resulted in further-preventable tragedy. I feel terrible about making an image that looks so happy, because...

A Little Bit
Le Lapin is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. So far I have yet to find any placebo or remedy for my cat allergy*. I adore them, and most of them seem to be fond toward me. Alas, my immune system doesn’t like…

Identity
Le Lapin is a reader-supported publication. Become a contributing subscriber. In the perspective of geological time, the concept of personal becomes relegated to bones. In the imaginary realm, our life stories become echos. As Freud-freaks battle it out with Lacanian devotees, and the Jung…

Screaming in Silence
I promise to scream if I have to hear about another self indulgent alibi for polyamory I promise to scream if I have to to hear about another ignorant claim to people having no right to self defense but you see I have already not Screamed but exposed my crown to the icy cold fjord to keep a…

Mind Your Clicks
OH YEAH ….if you want to be a guest, or have a recorded discussion…let’s do that since I’m getting tired of the sound of my own voice: [email protected] The risk of sharing with whoever stumbles down the Le Lapin rabbit hole I ventured into or simply existing in this world has begun to feel...

Osmen

Currency
Taboos become larger cultural palpitations. These manifest themselves in waves of group-think, which can sometimes result in the masses doing something retrospectively incorrect that seems like the right thing in the moment. That incorrectness is often disregarded in favor of turning a cheek. The...
-
Reality Theaters
Along with free speech is the important aspect of allowing people to see things the way they do. That is to open up the mind instead of inform it, and box it, with a neat little label. This is one of the reasons I appreciate the visual and sensorial realm more than the often coined nature of text...

Cavern
what shapes are written on the wall for how the body howls a man’s pains transferred to her in waves of pleasure settles as sediments of sorrow later a woman becomes a vessel for the war of life and a container that flows every moon red or grows a seed with warmth and care. * Mari Amman, Oslo,...

Gurus and false prophets
One of the wonders of free speech is the possibility of knowing who or what you’re being faced with. The experience of a parrot-in-human-form becomes obvious when particular phrases are regurgitated by different people, as if the same psyche was inhabiting their body. One of the peculiar aspects…

Agreement
Perhaps there is one thing people can agree on today, anyone with a sane mind that is: destroying creates anguish. Finding acceptance of unacceptable behavior has been one of the tumultuous mental strains the notion of freedom has made my mind wrestle with. What would humanity be if they were...

Taking Time Towards Forever

Bubble Theory

Pansies
When you die, you no longer fear death or anyone. The meaning of the infamous “Grateful Dead” carries so much significance in this way. I am really not a big fan of how-to guides, 12 steps, or any other gurus or life advice…but I have found this structure useful. Perhaps you might as well. How to...

These waters rise by choice
What is the true interest in making the invisible, the visible? Usually this comes at the slow-rate of disclosing the truth in plein-air, or making an obvious fact of life hidden by social rhetoric (often referred to as a construct) exposed to the grounding, undeniable qualities of life. That is...

Parietal functions
I loved how he smelled and every word he chose with his voice I heard all he knows And would not say So I kissed all his way holding back my being showing just what I felt he could love and not fear everything I had never let grow I felt like a girl a part of me who I never got to know could come...

Everyday Alchemy
The collected effervescence of the subconscious hovers within and around and we call that air. The assumed judgements of the imaginary animates the realm of the soul and we call that psyche. The embodied wounds of the generations instruct the genetic expressions and we call that personality and...

Relinquished
Each soul in a shell has a story to tell along my way I happened to fall into a trap I awoke later to find far north in a space, a place where the sun does not sow stories of fruit nor blisters, but instead ice reveals its contours not flames create hell where souls go to learn, why animals howl...
-
Relative correctness
Art exists within realms of the sign, symbol, material, and mental, and some will go toward the soulful, spiritual, and emotional. These are not separated as to be opposing forces really, though culture psycho-socially often construes these human experiences that way. After some decades of...

On Beauty
One of the several arguments against Beauty is rooted in the notion Beauty is Subjective. Further still from a face-off or contrarian perspective, Beauty has grown as form of taboo substantiated by cultural standards. Given the hard and narrow push for the acceptance of the abject and the...

Kindness as cruelty
Thank you for reading Le Lapin. This post is public so feel free to share it. “It could be worse.” Phrases like this may mean well and prove to be slippery slopes. Meant often in kindness prove to be not very kind, in parallel to the way Self-Help books are psychospiritual, as well as...

Hell is a train stop
I was told hell can mean luck in some contexts. To be direct with you, Hell is a beautiful place. The train stop sits just outside of Værnes airport in Trøndelag. You don’t have to believe me; you can find out with some map service. Hell is a train stop in Norway. And just a stop, you can get off...
