This is a fully functional Swatch Twin Phone from the late 1980s, a lovely gift from my friend Kerstin. Its defining feature is its dual design: two people can each use one of the handsets and take part in the same phone conversation. A masterpiece, now sitting on the cabinet in my hallway.

Crocheted by hand! Mrs. Olga Vukovac, an experienced traditional crocheter and knitter, did an extraordinary job crocheting me. The life-size head has finally arrived in my studio, and the result is outstanding. Coming soon to a gallery near you. + instagram.com/p/DezSkIhDLVI └⦿✚⦿┘ intima.org/o-o

A(x) ↔ ¬A(x) {A of x is true if and only if A of x is false.} "I want it always the same. Not essentially the same – I want it to be exactly the same. Because the more I look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier I feel."
