Soundings is a public performance piece through which performers visualize and negotiate their relationships to their own power and to each other through the basic element of thread. Soundings occurs in multiple public sites, including: the United States, the island of Haiti-Dominican Republic, Brazil and on a ship across the Atlantic. The performances are visually recorded to become part of an infinite-channel video projection.

i woke up thinking of this song for this photo
Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man - Concrete Blonde (mp3)

I saw a face in the shower door
A cowboy smiled, came and faded
I reached for my towel on the floor
I didn't think it was exactly where I laid it
"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I said
To whatever it was floating in the air above my bed
He knew that I would understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man
I reached to turn out the light
He wouldn't let me get near it
He seemed so glad to see a woman in the flesh
And I really liked his spirit
"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried
To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side
He knew that I would understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man
"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried
To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side
He knew that I would understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man
