...arena concert from the 1970s or 1980s. Perhaps it was the ethereal synthesizers or the towering stacks of speakers that flanked the stage, but it was largely the lighting design that lent the concert a surreal, throwback air. New-age images and silhouetted trees played against floor-to-ceiling cloth banners while colored lights cut through the machine-smoke haze of the auditorium, adding a visual overload to the musical excess...
...Untitled (Blake Man)” with the falling dusk in the background; a faint orange glow on the sand and grass in the distance and reflected on the lake below serves as a reminder of the fading sun. A feather is wrapped with a cloth around his head and a miniature wing emerges from the small of his back—yet it seems all too insignificant an apparatus to allow such defiance of gravity, and the picture reminds us of Icarus’ tragic tale. His hand reaches out behind him in a way that seems to recall...
Although many of the figures throughout the exhibition are not naked—they wear explorers’ garments, World War I leather pilots’ helmets and goggles—another print shows an unclothed man, only his waist wrapped in a small cloth, lying lifelessly on a sparsely vegetated dune.

So to put pressure on young women to hurry up and have kids when they don't have those other factors in place really does a disservice...
...cult of women she has taken into their Ohio home. The cult, called the Silentists, is led by a woman named Jane Dark, who directs them in their efforts to eliminate all motion, all speech and all feeling. This entails a number of rather complex processes and experiments involving cloth that holds words, water that absorbs experience and oral communication (what little there is of it) with an emphasis on vowels over consonants. Marcus describes elaborate devices designed to catch or stifle motion and psychological conditioning procedures designed to cure the women (and him) of the need for speech...
