The Queer Quantum Dispatch

Making your world a little less straight.

​

Darlings, how are you? Looking fabulous, as always.

You may have heard me mention recently an idea for a new, large scale historical painting based on the figure of Spartacus. I love looking forward to better, if imagined, futures. I love looking inward through surrealism. And, I love looking to the past for insights about the here and now. That last category is what we’ve got here.

I’ve captured all my ravings influences in a lovely blog post, complete with pictures! To say I’m somehow “reclaiming” Spartacus would not be accurate. He doesn’t belong to anyone—gay or straight. Also, as discussed in last week’s dispatch about Bad Gays, placing our current terms and concepts on historical figures is a dicey prospect. While it’s an amazing thought experiment from which we can learn oodles, it is not truth or certitude or in any way definitive.

Some sketching that explores possible spiritual themes in the work.

Consider this the beginnings of a big, luscious thought experiment. I'm still in the preparatory phase and like to give these things the proper amount of love and attention they deserve.
