In this intimate, fireside episode of Erotica Obscura, host Zhanna Zee welcomes special guest Dante Remy to her cabin deep in the woods—for tea, ink, and a whispered conversation about the mysterious, magnificent artist known as Apollonia Saintclair. Together, they explore what it means to call her “the writer who draws.” Saintclair’s illustrations are not decoration—they are literature rendered in shadow, stories compressed into flesh, gaze, and gesture. Each drawing invites you to narrate, implicates you in its ambiguity, and refuses to resolve. Her anonymity is not a veil to be lifted, but the very condition of her art. Zhanna and Dante move through several unforgettable images—from the wounded lioness to the kneeling reader by candlelight—drawing out how Saintclair’s work lives in the liminal: between ecstasy and estrangement, parody and prayer, climax and collapse. They reflect on themes of erotic tension, ritual, voyeurism, absurdity, surrender, and sacred obscenity. And with the arrival of Project M, her new image-text series, they glimpse something even more explosive: a graphic novel as scripture, composed from the body itself. Step into the threshold. Let the ink draw you in. Read the full article on the Erotica Obscura Blog at danteremy.com. Learn more about ⁠⁠apolloniasaintclair.com⁠⁠.
