Do You See What I Hear--memories of the heart
“The Trilogy of the Crone” El Condor Pasa, lyrics by Simon & Garfunkel
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
I’ve heard this song throughout my life in different contexts—from my childhood, listening to Simon and Garfunkel, to hearing Andean flute players in Peru with my own children. I created a triptych of the feminine—maiden, mother, and crone. The maiden has a newspaper hat with a star on top. The mother has a nest with 2 eggs, and the crone has transformed into the Condor, free and taking flight.
