Dear Sophie -
In the vibrant days of Soho, there was a 2nd floor performance space in a loft at the corner of Wooster & Broome streets called THE KITCHEN that featured live performances of some of the great artists of the time including Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, Bill T Jones & Arnie Zane. One night, backlit by a large screen with changing abstract imagery I stumbled upon the artist/musician LAURIE ANDERSON, her muscular androgynous body with spikey hair and the mysterious, poetic strains of her electric violin.
With love,
Mom
