"This publication presents a series of interviews on the practice of Stuart Brisley (1933), held by curator and writer Gilane Tawadros and directed by the artist. In talking about his practice, Brisley demonstrates a tireless resistance to controlling the narrative or fixing the meaning of his works, while also emphasising the critical importance of error to the creation of his performances. Clearly, the enduring fascination of Brisley's oeuvre, which over the years has included performance art, sculpture, and installation art, lies in its formless and slippery characteristics that resonate so poignantly with our shared human condition. "Errors make for where the key value lies"."--Publisher's description.
A noble, young & gifted lady... ...from “Agius Saranta” is asking an impostor to disappear and live her free after he was raping her. She was told that her mother was raped and killed. She did not believe him, and she knew her virtues had made him her slave; but he wanted to either make her a Professional Whore in the Casinos and the Circus in Athens or kill her! But they all misunderstood her pagan faith, will and abilities.
Charlotte Brownie Wright is the town clerk in tiny map-dot Abbott, a Southern town determined not to leap too quickly into the next century. She is best described as a cross between Scarlett O'Hara and Flo Castleberry from Mel's Diner and has big hair, a big heart, and a big laugh. She stays on top of the action in Abbott with the help of the local cast of characters, good fashion sense, and good pimento cheese and pickle sandwiches. Investigating a murder is the last thing from her mind until she finds the town historian dead in the old courthouse. With the police force down one man, Brownie steps up with the organizational skills only a clerk can possess. She and the police chief work their way through a set of contradictory clues, a nineteenth century old civil war ghost, and motives abound.
The much-beloved and acclaimed Christian fiction author delivers a redemptive delight with the story of an ex-con who learns the hard way that it's better to be with God than without Him. Deon "Rocky" Rockford is released after serving nearly twenty five years in jail. He may have been "saved" on the inside, but now that his term, originally a life sentence, has been overturned, and he's free from the shackles of the prayers of the men's ministry of the New Hope Church, he wants only to focus on himself. As fearless as he is strong, this big, brawny guy won many brawls behind bars, and feels ready to forge a new life in the infamous community of Shelton Heights. But he soon starts to see that the only "rock" he can count on is God.
