Daily Serving Features Excerpt from EJ Hill's Essay in Nonsensical Publication

In July 2017, the arts publication Daily Serving highlighted content from Nonsensical, an online arts platform. The feature included an excerpt from Los Angeles artist EJ Hill's text titled 'An Utter Disregard of the Potential for (and the Likelihood of) Complete and Total Ruin,' which draws inspiration from Lauryn Hill's album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.' Vivian Sming, co-founder of Nonsensical, described the essay as exploring themes of love through a contemporary lens, noting its emotional resonance and connection to modern consumer culture. Hill's piece was originally published in 2015 in the second issue of Nonsensical, titled '(meaning).' The excerpt reflects on personal experiences with love, comparing its intensity to artistic pursuits and past musical endeavors. Hill mentions purchasing the Alabama Shakes album 'Sound and Color' despite financial strain, linking it to themes of love and loss. The artist also recalls a previous music career before attending art school, performing in public spaces. The essay blends autobiographical reflection with cultural commentary, examining how love intersects with identity and memory. Daily Serving's spotlight aims to promote noteworthy arts publications, with this feature focusing on Nonsensical's curated content.
