    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

In my summer of wandering I came upon a lady
her hair was black, her lips were red
her eyes, sharp as daggers
her age was ancient while still a child
she knew what no one could
In my summer of wandering I came upon a lady

In my summer of wandering I came upon a young man
he stood by the lady’s side
a strange and faithful union
they had lived through many lives,
together in them all
In my summer of wandering I came upon a young man

In my summer of wandering I came upon a key
the key had lived 600 years
waiting, patient just for me
the women had kept it most faithfully
knowing the owner she’d meet
In my summer of wandering I came upon a key

In my summer of wandering I came upon memory
the key the woman bestowed to me
unlocked all I hadn’t seen
in the darkness the visions came
all the demons that share my name
all the terror that kept me tame
and my sorrow bled me clean
In my summer of wandering I came upon memory

In my summer of wandering I came upon a thief
he took from me my treasures,
my treats
he took from me the key
my anger raged
the tears they came
how could a man take all I’d made?
then empty handed I closed my eyes
and I saw what I was still holding:
All I needed was here with me in my summer of wandering
All I needed was here within said my summer of wandering
