Index Cards: Selected Essays | Moyra Davey
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
An essential selection of Moyra Davey’s sly, surprising, and brilliant essays In these essays, the acclaimed artist, photographer, writer, and filmmaker Moyra Davey often begins with a daily encounter—with a photograph, a memory, or a passage from a book—and links that subject to others, drawing fascinating and unlikely connections, until you can almost feel the texture of her thinking. While thinking and writing, she weaves together disparate writers and artists—Mary Wollstonecraft, Jean Genet, Virginia Woolf, Janet Malcolm, Chantal Akerman, and Roland Barthes, among many others—in a way that is both elliptical and direct, clearheaded and personal, prismatic and self-examining, layering narratives to reveal the thorny but nourishing relationship between art and life.

Finally returning to Moyra Davey's essays (after getting through all the library books that seemed to come in at once) and am just drinking in her writing!
