Phosphene Songs
John Michael Kohler Arts Center—Sheboygan, Wisconsin
May 11, 2018

in conjunction with Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck’s exhibition Out, Out, Phosphene Candle

with original score by Laura Baird

Phosphene Songs activated the exhibition Out, Out, Phosphene Candle by artists Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck. Composer/multi-instrumentalist Laura Baird and I took the audience on a sonic journey through Feasley and Swenbeck’s immersive installation, exploring its themes of navigation through time and space as we played on, inside, and around their artwork. The performance was inspired by the artists’ fascination with alchemy and witchcraft. Baird’s original score and my costumes suggest mystical journeys experienced through trance-like states.
