Produktbeschreibung
These flies on a white table burst into shafts of light and touch down again, sun-stricken, the oil of their bodies breaking light into all its parts. Not yet song, their buzzing proves less than noise, maybe more, horizon note or beginnings of pattern. It suits me to think they have learned to make much of the nothing their lives amount to. What are you thinking? from Flies: A Few Questions Poised and buoyant, musing among ironies; alive to the psychologies of weather, night noises, mowing the lawn and putting it off; knowing the many mindscapes of neighbourhood, detecting the places where myth surfaces into a backyard or long weekend, where a situation teeters on the brink of art and imagined creatures are making / real connections - what is Closer To Home is domestic life that has been given back its dance, the bite and mystery that both provokes and eludes the grasp of the mind.
