this is interesting Fern :> Is that Beckett text 'written all over her face'... the spider web eyes and extra eyes over the ears add another dimension. Very expressive.thought provoking. Good work!
I like how you have used a web... over/ as the ears and eyes and hovering back there on/in the head ... or maybe the brain. I like how the web is a membrane, a timpanum, and I like how you engage Beckett's fragmented body part sensorium... it seems to be an image constructed for pause... I like that, too
It says in the top corner that the page of text is about "The construction of the web of an orb-weaving spider. I'm just curious where you get stuff like that Fern?
Welcome to the sandbox. This site is part of a collaborative adaptation of Samuel Beckett's The Unnamable. I guess the only constraint on posts is that the titles have to refer back to the Beckett text. You can find our working copy of the text on the site Exteriority. You can send email submissions to

If you'd like to be a team member of this blog let me know. That way you could post without the middleman.

honestly, there is no thought process here..no deciding or de- coding
mostly for me, if I'm not mumbling I'm flailing, and if that is of interest...cool
I'm always tearing up old books like this. I've got a pile of old, illustrated encyclopedias with words and images that call to me.
love her inquisitive eyes...
and the word she tries to utter...
