metal detector

ink, watercolor on paper, 2022

published in Oroboro Volume 8

metal detector is a 6-page poetry comic about the subject/object axis of desire and the erotic imagination; crushing so hard on somebody or something that they become abstracted from themselves/a projection of yourself.

the first half of the comic is narrated by a horny metal detector (desiring subject), yearning for an underground entity (object of desire). in the second half, the entity responds, unimpressed.
