nostalgia for the mud

Our thanks to Digg for having us circle back around and dally, indulge in the surreal treasury of the self-conscious captured in this series of composite images from Chase Middleton.
These intersectional collages are strange and random but all seem to evoke this feeling of awkward incantation—a conjuring as we imagine it in our heads informed by on-screen depictions but that we pull off ham-fistedly and manage to muddle through somehow.
