I/the Glomerate project is featured in issue #42 of filling Station, a literary magazine from Calgary, Alberta. It's the "Disgust" issue. the most exciting part of this is that so is Wim Delvoye. http://www.wimdelvoye.be/
It's the magazine with something unidentifiable yet gross on the cover. Pink and slimy and textured. Look for it in your local printed matter retailer.

The Spirit of Clumping or, Glomerate
I collect discarded things I find on the ground stuffing and storing them inside my clothing against my body. The value of the objects is directly proportional to the mass I gain from “absorbing” them onto my person. The more objects and bulk I amass the more I win a larger place in the world by taking up more of it; by becomer a larger person. The ground is covered in dirt and the objects have to be picked out of it. My eyes are bigger than my stomach but my hands are small so this seems to take a long time. There are too many objects and my clothes can’t hold enough of them… the openings in my clothing - the space up my sleeve and between my neck and hoodie - are strained so I can only absorb small objects to fill up a large space – the entire inside of my clothing. Pulling things into my orbit as I go I hope that the momentum will sustain itself and I’ll collect enough material to become a recognised celestial body. Once I start I can’t stop. I could do this forever.
