...have more than a little in common with surrealism; one thinks of the Pandora's box of little involuntary creatures, buzzing and defecating and copulating, that Joan Miro opened in the 1920s. And like those dreambugs, Winters' fungi and spores have a distinctly human air. In their aggregation, they refer to social structures: hives, crowds, nests, colonies. They suggest hierarchies and sometimes conflict. But all this is decidedly muffled, submerged so far in the paint that it hardly works as allegory. Winters does not want to make his images specific: "I want them to trigger multiple readings, so that they...

In addition to Pakistan, these countries include India, Iran...
...Khan IV. It is therefore quite absurd for your reporter to treat the word "Khan" in "Aga Khan" as if it were a last name (e.g. Khan, the super-rich Pakistani leader....). The inappropriateness of such a usage can perhaps be best illustrated if one were to refer to the British Prince of Wales as simply "Wales...
