    In Nov/Dec 2018 I was lucky enough to be an artist at the Rauschenberg Residency on Captiva Island, FL. I, along with 8 other artists, lived and worked on the Rauschenberg property – a gorgeous, rambling tropical island haven – for six extraordinary weeks. While there, I set up a little recording studio in the Waldo Cottage to record and mix Captiva, a five-song collection / experiment. A couple weeks in, it became clear that I couldn't possibly NOT make artwork to go along with the EP, as I was surrounded by Rauschenberg's influence, screenprints, equipment, experiments and energy. And so! Here we are. The Captiva lyric prints. Each made tenderly and obsessively by me. Historical aside – the Fish House was built in 1942 by J.N. "Ding" Darling, friend to President Roosevelt, cartoonist, satirist and once president of the National Wildlife Federation. It's also THE BEST place to watch the sunrise.

lyrics

If my car doesn’t start
I guess I’ll be staying put
it’ll be good for my pocketbook
if my car doesn’t start

If my car doesn’t start
I guess I’ll be walking around town
it’ll be good to get to know my hood
if my car doesn’t start

I should be taking the slow road
I should be going the winding way
anyway so I guess
that it’s best
if my car
finally won’t start

If my car doesn’t start
I guess I’ll be biking around
it’ll be good for my head and my ass and my heart
if my car doesn’t start

chorus

Why do I need these wheels anyway?
Why do I try to race through my days?
Can’t I just tame my pace and face
my longing for arrivals?

If my car doesn’t start
I guess I’ll be hitching a lift
it’ll be good for my loneliness
if my car doesn’t start
I should be taking the slow road
I should be going the winding way
anyway so I guess
that it’s best
if I find that my car
finally gives me a fresh start
