Living, as we do, in a time of masks, I am keen to explore and interpret the American Masquerade past and present.

Drawing on history, natural history, unnatural history, and Christian esotericism, I chart and chronicle the multiple masks and masquerades that now shape America’s soulscape.

Attentive to the semantic and semiotic explosions that punctuate every masquerade, this liminal space offered by Substack is my virtual ballroom to dance and dally with you, dear reader, to explore the masked meanings of our time.

Thank you for dancing with me.
