Dense, multi-sensory, and rhizomatic, it speaks through entanglements and intersections, and flows beyond exhibition spaces to wetland walks, conversations with forest gods, and other “mushroomings.”Īt JDA Perera Gallery, the main exhibition space, the architecture of meaning can be perceived like a forest stratification, combining a layered verticality with dense horizontal interconnections. “The endless symbolism of forests lies in their low visibility,” writes Anna Arabindan-Kesson, “to move through the dense entanglements of these spaces we need all our senses.” The same might be said of Colomboscope, Sri Lanka’s interdisciplinary arts festival now in its eighth edition. She started constructing a persona through which to survive: “I must learn to charm people in a quiet way.” ![]() The wicked world was out to crush her long before she could fashion herself as “Candy Darling.” Around 1962 she started taking the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan to escape, mostly to hang out around Washington Square. This is a wicked world, I think.” She was right. As a young Candy confided to her diary: “Nobody loves or understands me. She was one of those whom straight people, cis people, perceives as other from the start.

In recent months, an array of investigations of the child pornography business - by the Justice Department, state and local law enforcement and Congress - have contributed to wholesale shutdowns of some of the most sexually explicit Internet sites trafficking in child images. Sparkle is one of hundreds of children being photographed by adults, part of what appears to be the latest trend in online child exploitation: Web sites for pedophiles offering explicit, sexualized images of children who are covered by bits of clothing - all in the questionable hope of allowing producers, distributors and customers to avoid child pornography charges. According to the posted schedule, new photographs of her - many clearly intended to be erotic, all supposedly taken that week - are posted online every Friday for her growing legions of admirers. She has thousands of fans from around the world, membership lists show, who pay as much as $30 a month to see images of her. ![]() In just over seven months, the model has become an online phenomenon.
