All is Quiet on the Homefront
The lines are rather silent this morning, so I take a moment to reflect upon developments from the last week.
I am thankful for the resonance happening on the facebook page, we have become quite the gaggle! I am excited for the continual conversations, and the voices surfacing from the ether to join the delightful din! There is nothing as clear and honest as the mirrors we hold up to one another, as they cast an image we often cannot see on our own. Without the collaborative humor, insights and musings of my fellow 'nuts', mine would be yet another lonely voice in the noise. Now that we connect, the voices become a (often silly) symphony! As we all know and deeply appreciate, the mixing and meshing of many sounds can create unspeakably lovely music! Without my fellow followers, I would be a solitary note or two in a dark room. Without the inspiration gleaned from the works of others, Wally himself would likely be little more than a muffled drumbeat in the distance. There is great power in numbers, and also great expectations and responsibilities. I look forward to the indefinite discourse and shared experiences!

In other news, the "Fractured Heart" installation from Wally and Kimbra's stellar 2011 ARIA performance is now on display in Walsh Bay in the Sydney area. The piece illuminates with brilliant colors and sounds in response to movement. here are some great stills from the site:
It comes as veritably no surprise that Wally was involved in the genesis of the piece, as is his collaborative tendency. Here's to hoping it becomes a permanent fixture such that myself and my fellow Wall-nuts might interface with it one day while on a giddy Australia trip! Someday, indeed...someday. ~~
