“Thinking of the belly more as thinking of it as a gut, a mishmash of things recorded and stored”, he riffed.
Thomas Hitchcock’s presentation at AFFILIATE traces the silhouette of a pomegranate’s belly to think of shapes and space, bringing in cold materials like black steel and milky coloured glass remnants, to speak of warm, held insides.
