Throughout my time, I’ve encountered many compelling images that have transfixed my gaze, and taken me into the worlds that I’ve often spoken about in the songs.
Since 2019 a support pillar of the dividing wall between my living room and the kitchen has been home to the image that accompanies this entry. Recently it was removed and replaced by new imagery.
Previously whenever glyph-like structures like these would appear in TIE, I would have recorded them, and obsessed over them relentlessly—analyzing them for their meaning—wondering why these images would come together the way they have: like pieces of a puzzle.
I believe that this is probably the third time that this type of thing has happened. Each iteration is less impactful than it was before but no less meaningful or important to my practice.
As I removed these images from the wall to prepare the room for the next, I thought it was time to preserve them digitally so that I can remember where the artist was in 2019:
“After the destruction of the vessel, an evacuation was necessary. The course was charted to a nearby planet mistaken for the earth. Upon crash landing, I would meet new friends at the Venusian landscape that would incubate the song, preserve my dreams, and help me restore my vessel unto it’s newly resurrected mission”.
