mali-bird and the heartbreakers

I used to build these buildings
I used to walk next to you
Their shadows tore us apart
And now we do what we do
Driven to the mountains high
Sunken in the cities deep
Livin' in our sleep.
--- Neil Young, Goin' Back

MAY JULIETTE BARRUEL
"AND NOW WE DO WHAT WE DO"

May Juliette Barruel's textile-based work and photography address themes of nostalgia, obsession, and loss in an intimate and often voyeuristic fashion. For this exhibition, Barruel investigates a variety of materials in order to reify her experience, and here her voice finds resonance in printed words and embroidered textiles, insofar as to use her own hair as thread.
These conceptual tapestries and text accompany Barruel's photographs to create "And Now We Do What We Do", a reflection on half a life of dating, falling, hoping, pining, loving, and obsessing with its fair share of drunken haircuts, romantic inspirations, ridiculously embarrassing behaviors, and hundreds of hours spent wallowing while listening to songs by Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Bill Callahan. The work is both catharsis and hypothesis, a searching for the existence of truth and love in an endlessly fragmented and often lost contemporary youth culture.

the road


Now call down your dark and your cold and be damned.

No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later.

- Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
- You forget some things, don't you?
- Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
--- Cormac McCarthy
