Mayas first blog ever


Well, in this techno savvy world I never was really interested in more information (besides the picture of my eye) from my head getting onto the permanent Internet, but here we go.

I want to start by adding a picture of my studio work and place it with in this discussion framework.
Since we have titled our blog after our main reading by Roland Barthes I have placed an image of the book I edited, erased and used to draw out a story that was waiting to be discovered. I have also added a series of my palimpsest writings and rewritings of non-language.

I think that this section in Rolands book about desire and the pleasure of the text should inspire our writing on this blog.



The text you write must prove to me that it desires me. This proof exists: it is writing. Writing is: the science of the various blisses of language, its Kama Sutra (this science has but on treatise: writing itself) (Barthes, R. The Pleasure of the Text, trans. Richard Miller, Hill & Wang, New York, 1975, 6).
