A lighted candle & holder cut
from a music score. Papier
collé, glued paper, evoking
techniques from some decades
before, invoking thoughts of
his brother, a musician, poet.
Laid beside the candle, eggs
in a nest. Though not known
where they were laid. Nor
known which came first, the
candle or the eggs. Not that
that matters. Take notice of
the notes, their similarity to
DNA, the genetic information
of the music. & the eggs, the
ongoing vigil waiting for them
to hatch, to bring more life in
to the world as we hold the
candle up to illuminate their
progress. Note the frisson be-
tween them, candle & eggs, the
magic imparted by being together,
the dust of dusk accompanying
them, adding to the mystery.
