Gazing Down On It Severo Sarduy between writing and drawing—Giraudon’s workLauren de S Naylor Gazing Down On It is a collection of dream narratives, of language as weapon or prayer, compiled in the plague year of 2020. These fragments iterate a pervasive concern with embodiment in relation to others, boundaries and their transgression, and the shifting slipping quality of roles and identities such as wife, mother, daughter, parent, queer, artist, witch and especially, woman (all terms that discomfort).
