Guilty Pleasure : Page 475.
Right now the section of Ulysses I am copying is
easy breezy. Many of the sentences are very short. It looks

New : Ulysses
and The Gloves
I have begun a project that addresses the
crosscurrents between my need to make visual art and my
awareness that my world view is shaped by reading (the instigator
of empathy) and writing (a source of self-discovery). It
has become increasingly critical for me to use words in
my work in a meaningful and beautifully visual way.
In this new piece I will engage not my own
words but those of modernist master, James Joyce. Words
once considered dirty; filthy; no better than household
scum. 265,000 words so unclean that they were prosecuted
for obscenity in the United States, and for 12 years after
their first appearance in print, considered unfit for publication
in the United Kingdom. I’m referring, of course, to the
text of Joyce’s groundbreaking novel, Ulysses.
