The Glass Artworks of Paglialunga

Columbus, Ohio – September , 2009.
Review by David Senecal

Nestled within the hills of southern Ohio, a few minutes drive south of Columbus, a distinct buzz could be felt on the cool September breeze blowing through the normally quiet, and exotically named town of Lithopolis.

The Lithopolis Honey fest is an annual attraction that takes place on the grounds of the Wagnalls Memorial estate. Built in 1925 by Mabel Wagnalls Jones, daughter of Adam and Ana Wagnalls, the Wagnalls Memorial is part library, part art museum, and bears the namesake of the co-founder of the Funk and Wagnalls publishing company.

Story by Peggy Mintun

She woke with the knowledge of a different place, and felt as though she had traveled from the far reaches of time from a point where such concepts have no meaning. As she lay motionless, she began to doubt her voyage, even though the memory of it had felt so real just a moment before. She was aware of a chill that resonated from her soul, and felt the loss of something she had once held dear, even though she could not fathom what she was now missing. There was so much to recall, profound thoughts to process, yet she felt all the knowledge that she had gained on her journey begin to slowly trickle away until it all seemed like an ordinary dream. A dream that was so significant upon waking, only to dissolve into nothingness over the course of a second. Suddenly a realization dawned on her. She knew from the evidence in her hand that one reality had in fact merged with another.

Interview with Joseph Larkin

OLOGY welcomes the cold season wondering…
Where is the winter wonderland we were promised?

It’s a good question.

In many parts of the world, this Winter has been among the more mild.

Is it El Niño?
Is it Global Warming?
We think it might be the super-hot artwork from this issue’s cover artist, Joseph Larkin.
To find out, we asked him what it was all about:
