On the Wings of a Song" is a small toccato with alberti-like accompaniment figuration that must be balanced against the melody. As we read in the introduction, the author places her study under the sign of the goddess Nemesis, who is a figuration of the tension between transmission and mnemonics. Nearer, on Sturt Street, the centre beaks out over the thoroughfare, calling attention to the rather maw-like main entrance, almost the only obvious opening in its otherwise nearly impervious brown Corten steel skin--a conjunction of rusted steel, abstracted figuration and progression that curiously recalls Massimiliano Fuksas's entrance to the Neolithic caves at Niaux in France (AR August 1995). |
