about

After the fever broke I remembered a dream. In the dream I wandered from my home to my parents. I took a detour through the back gallery of a Walmart where my mom had an art exhibition-an unlikely but appropriate juxtaposition - the stuff of dreams for sure. In this alternate reality there were static electric brass bobbins vibrating in styrofoam statues, a giant self portrait in mood ring gel...I wandered through the basement of my childhood home to find hallways and galleries and greenhouses filled with art and sculpture. In my dream, my mother had been an artist, professor, curator, critic, documentarian...think Tilda Swinson as J.K.L. Berensen in The French Dispatch. I woke up seeing this dream as a metaphor for unspent personal and genetic potential. I feel my mom had left so much undone and think frustration marks a lot of how I remember her. I want to see that frustration relieved in my life, in part through my music and in the small token of using some of her art throughout the telling of The Silent Years.

lyrics

Silk screen print show posters
Student art and canvas fill the basement
Decades of your movements
Mirrors in the catacombs are waiting

If I could paint the sky
I’d only want to see it reflect in your eye
Meet me in the morning
Wearing my favorite disguise

Barefoot from my belly
Toes in two-step catching double time
Neon layers echo through the moods
Of hyper-violet “catching the light”
Styrofoam statues in their process
Taking the shape of notes and chords
Of paradigm change

If I could paint the sky
I’d only want to see it reflect in your eyes
Meet me in the morning wearing
My Favorite Disguise
