My Art of Compost students are hard at work on their blogs and I mean to post links to them as they come to life. Here’s a first.

Most excitingly, to me, she’s bringing her own creative work into the mix. She’s a wonderful photographer, and the more she manipulates the images, the more she “problematizes” their “authenticity,” the more they belong.
Here’s one I stole from there to draw you on. Meant all four scare quotes yes.
