Dear Robert C. Thomas,
You wrote to Bruce Hagood,

This crystalised for me what I liked about your first post ( apart from its
enjoyable ability to start a thread from a misreading of another threads
title ) and that was its unlikely anti-fetishism. At first I was taken aback
(fnaar fnaar) by its lurid reification but then realised that this
materialisation of hole and rim was indeed a pragmatic response to vacunt
aesthetisism. A taking hold of hole and a real enjoyment of the material.
Penetrating stuff ( the active hole that is ).
Yes... wandering, errant, affective holes with appetite ..reminds me of that
William S. Burroughs talking arse routine.. the one where the arse keeps
blabbing on:
 " Equal rights! Equal rights!"

Keep it up
yours p.

p.s 'penetrating holes' is an odd description that has the ability to be
read in two ways.. hmmm ... the hole penetrates and is penetrated. hmmm.
food for thought.
