About the Exhibition
Songs for the Chameleon is a project consisting of an illustrated novel and a series of musical compositions, each with an accompanying video. The music/video part is nearing completion, with an expected release date sometime in the fall of 2025.
The novel, however, came to an abrupt standstill when, after several years of rapt involvement in the development of the story and characters, the author awoke to the fact of an alarming neglect of other of life’s annoying necessities. Like relationships. The lawn. Extant hydro bills. On and on.
These few drawings represent some of the effort made to illustrate the characters and ideas meant to be engendered in the writing. In the story our protagonist, a dreamer, encounters a crow. The crow, at first annoyingly present in her dreams, becomes the teacher/philosopher that helps her to wake to the depth of her consciousness. To realize how dream and waking awareness are intertwined. And that by engaging our lives with this heightened awareness the quieting of our worst fears can be perceived as within our grasp…
Heavy shit.
