Sequels
An erudite, playful collage of apocrypha and imagined sequels envisions that the peg-legged captain from a famous whaling epic survives the wreck and reappears in dozens of afterlives—preacher, vagabond, actor, impostor—each account contradicting the last. Through catalogs of forged documents, marginalia, and derivative texts, it meditates on obsession, myth-making, and how stories proliferate beyond their endings, turning a legendary figure into a prism for questions about identity, authorship, and the hunger for closure.
