"The piece “A Totem You Can Wear” is a strange little
drama, an opera mid-pronunciation, an opera in which the she in the shape, is
the shape and the he in the shape is hitched onto her. She lets him stay there.
He lives off of her. The notion of feral synthesis is the drive which
accompanies the content that exists in all of the pieces within this work, but
so, where such synthesis meets sound, there at the bottom of the sea, where the
earrings are inter-tangling, getting lost in the dust of the disappearing reef.
Something ancient and magical is happening. Maybe it is because such earrings,
entangled on reef bodies, will catch the eyes of folks above the surface of the
water as they are throwing things into the sea that damage the reef. Maybe it
is all to slow down the process of humans throwing things into the sea. Maybe
the glints will encourage people to swim in the sea with as much awe and
awareness as is possible for them to do in their own bodies should they focus
enough."
