Lucy Watson's Dream Came True
And this is it! My dream when I began making music was to release an LP that I really loved on vinyl. This is the test pressing. Sounds of Lucy Watson etched in time! <3
Of coarse now I want more.
Vela Phelan
This photo is from a performance by Vela Phelan at Meme Gallery in Boston. Vela has been working for a long time. The objects that he collects form an important part of his identity and spirituality. Each object is full of personal significants and memory. They each have a history that is so dense that after having heard a number of stories about them I began to realize how full of meaning the installation was. How it is representative of Vela's whole life and the love he shares with his wife Alice Vogler (another Boston performance artist). It is when we examine the smallest simplest things that we come to realize how much we will never know.
What will become of these objects? And what have the elements within them undergone to get to the point that they are at? Don't forget that plastic is formed from organic material that has been underground for millions of years. Did these objects ever have a mind of their own? A giant dinosar mind? A crocodile mind? How does Vela's relationship with them change their material makeup? Does it change anything?
