I just find the word strangely compelling, and it evokes something grand, awkward, epic, silent, funny, and just a bit creepy — all characteristics of this piece, in a way. The repeated phrase toward the end (“the detail of the pattern is movement”) is a little concept I love trying (and failing) to imagine. It comes from T.S. Eliot’s beautiful and perplexing Burnt Norton (from the Four Quartets), and I’ve used it before in other work — as a kind of whimsical existentialist mantra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caroline Shaw Editions","offers":[{"title":"score","offer_id":386883594,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1909\/products\/taxidermy_flowerpot_1.jpg?v=1550119635","url":"https:\/\/carolineshaw.com\/products\/taxidermy","provider":"CAROLINE SHAW EDITIONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
