For 7 months I've deferred much of my own creative output while adjusting to a new hometown, but I have been editing a weekly themed photography feature for a website called Perfect Duluth Day. My grandiloquent intent was to shift visual discourse from hyper-abundant geographical assets, to the significant human and social capital I've found here. It can often be a frivolous exercise, though sometimes we glean relevance, maybe even grace, the way most things happen- in spite of ourselves. This week's "underwear" theme (yep) drew this submission from an artist named Aaron Reichow:
"Encountered an empty homeless camp near Point of Rocks when hiking, the
depressing collection of items left behind told some kind of story.
Children's underwear, crayons, baby lotion, a prescription medical
device, and a burnt scrap of paper the remains of a spell scattered in
the dead grass."
"Cast to east side / place for ashes."
