I Can Hear the Grass Grow (2023)

ink on paper

This is for a permanent exhibition on, Tristan de Cunha, the remotest inhabited island on the planet.

The drawing is based on a still from the movie WINGS OF DESIRE (1987, d. Win Wenders) where the angel, Damiel, comforts a dying man. The man begins to list memories and at one point says, 'Tristan da Cunha'. The title comes from a doco of the island. One local says it's so quiet he can sometimes hear the grass grow.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on February 17, 2023 at 8:21am: If you want some music for the Exhibition, I can recommend the Who's 'I can see for miles.

Chorus (of sorts):

"I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah"
