Fifteen doors and one threshold. The paper edition is a magazine made entirely of its own advertisements; the online edition is the field they were printed from.
Fifteen doors, in the order they were printed. Open one to stand in front of the whole plate; where a door leads somewhere living, you can step through.

The masthead itself, where the arithmetic stops behaving.

A notice posted to the air. No address, no sender.

A field observation on what we agree to wear in front of each other.

Meaning takes the stage and performs itself in front of you.

A sound at the base of things, insisting on being heard.

The one page printed on black ground, standing apart on purpose.

A held space. Enter slowly.

An old hand arrives as a newcomer and looks up at the ceiling again.

The oldest story, caught mid-laugh.

Acts of observation, filed as they happened.

Notes taken in the field, still carrying weather.

A daily scribe, keeping the record whether or not anyone asked.

The colour page. Here the palette is the argument.

What chewing tells us about company.

Everyone at the table is served. No exceptions.
