Heather Leigh Murray, Dry Bones, 2007 |
51.
DRY BONES BY BASCOM LAMAR LUNSFORD, 1928 REMIX: HEATHER LEIGH MURRAY, DRY BONES, 2007 Lunsford, ‘The Minstrel of the Appalachians’, was a banjo player, fiddler, country lawyer, and an avid collector of Appalachian folk songs. In 1928 he founded the Mountain Dance and Folk Song Festival in Asheville - an event he was to be involved with for the rest of his life. Heather Leigh’s detailed drawing layers abstract shapes, building up lines of pattern. A figure appears to rise out of the compacted organic shapes, reaching up towards a flaming figure, perhaps a bird or a sun. Heather Leigh was born in West Virginia and raised in Houston, Texas. She is based in Glasgow, where she runs the Volcanic Tongue record shop and mailorder with David Keenan. She plays solo music and in the trio Taurpis Tula. www.wishimage.com |
