The title isn't meant to suggest anything deep and meaningful, Gentle Reader(s), but a promise is a promise and I intend to keep mine. I've been busy in ways that I can't even begin to describe yet (or maybe I'm just not ready to), but remember how all those weeks (okay, months) ago I promised to post a link to my essay on the development of artist Mare Tralla's Protected series? Well better late than never, so here you go if you're interested in artsy fartsy jazz or if you're just curious to see how long it takes you to start zoning out while reading academic material. Allow me to present, The Cultural Amalgamation Which Produced Mare Tralla's Protected.
