BIOPHILIA
#111 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.
Dedicated to Unkle Ken Russell, Lisi Tribble, & Paul Darling.
For me, BIOPHILIA is about our place in the multiverse. Not just humans, but all living things & their interdependence, and that by being here, we're obligated to do what we can to make it better for each other. We're all LightBearers.
The song COSMONOGY reminds me of the final scene in KEN RUSSELL's film, ISADORA DUNCAN, THE BIGGEST DANCER IN THE WORLD: a hillside full of all the world's children, running through the meadow to Beethoven's ODE TO JOY in a state of glorious ecstasy.
I think of Isadora Duncan and her drive to teach dance as a means of artistic expression, not as entertainment, not for commercial purposes, but the spiritual & healing aspects of movement... and how that's echoed in Björk's BIOPHILIA education program, tracing the lines connecting Music & Science (like my dream where I learned that Art & Medicine were the same thing).
"MY DREAM OF BEAUTY WILL NEVER DIE!!!", Isadora declared. I feel the same way.
Maybe teaching is how I can spread The Light. Sure, my art will live after I'm gone, but its only a material thing. It would be so much more gratifying if I helped other people realize their own dreams of beauty.

THE QUEEN DOES HER OWN THING
#110 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.
Dedicated to Jose C. Cabezas, Pedro Apocalypto, Michael Espinoza & Raul K Rios.
La Lupe is pure drama unleashed, the thrill of no internal editor.
Strutting out of the building as it explodes in flames behind you.
Passion with no need, thought or care for justification.

PARTY LIGHTS
#109 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.
PARTY LIGHTS is the manifesto of everyone who's been stuck on The Outside looking In, wanting so much to be a part of that World. We've all experienced the pain of being shut out, absolutely believing that those on The Inside are having so much more fun than us on The Outside, that they have more VALUE.
I used to long to be one of The Beautiful People, to go to parties, live a life of glamor. But the closer I got, the more meaningless I saw it was; the real thrill & satisfaction is in the actual WORK, and that must necessarily be done in solitude. The true creative person is the one who makes their own parties, who incorporates fun as part of their process. So you are not waiting for compensation or an Invitation to The Party, you are manifesting it yourself. The Deed is its own Reward. The Journey, not the Destination; The meal, not The Menu.
