ARTIST: "Are you mute?"
A clattering noise, like someone clearing away coffee mugs.
AMORPHOUS FORM: "No"
ARTIST: "You're English?"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "I'm English because you're English"
ARTIST: "I'm a woman also, you don't look much like a woman"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "Neither does a string of beads"
ARTIST: "You're wearing beads"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "No"
The sound of stones being turned over and over on Brighton Beach.
ARTIST: "You are, I'm looking right at them, they're orange"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "No"
The sound of an overgrown passion flower being pruned one autumn morning.
ARTIST: "You're always alone"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "Of course, because I am an assemblage and not a gathering"
ARTIST: "But you are a collection"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "Yes"
The sound of a bird's wings flapping, an egg breaking, the ringing of an old fashioned telephone, fingers tapping and pages turning.
ARTIST: "Aren't you lonely?"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "I'm not alone, you are here. When you're not here there will be someone else, and together we may be old, or deaf, or criminal, or a Hindu.
ARTIST: "You're none of those things to me"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "Not now but some other time, some other time I'll be different"
ARTIST: "Until another time then"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "Yes"
A clattering noise, like someone clearing away coffee mugs.
AMORPHOUS FORM: "No"
ARTIST: "You're English?"
AMORPHOUS FORM: "I'm English because you're English"
