She loves : -
Dali's love for Gala, the passionate
elongated strokes of El Greco, OPERA
(but not necessarily Operas) Freddie
Mercury, Edward Gorey, artists Tim Burton, Mark
Ryden, John Currin, Michael
Caine, Lucille Ball, John Lennon, Liberace,
Endora, Pee
Wee Herman, the 'ornate', the
'avant -guard', TRUTH! (but not
necessarily reality), computers,
stainless steel, neuroscience,
equality, love, sex, luggage, mules,
hares. Peace. Silence.
She
lives a lieless life. She has a
penchant for red wine. She never
runs out of coffee, milk or lemons.
She loves the piano. She loves
whipped cream. She has an eye for
antiques, likes old clocks and
anything that measures
anything...the compass, the
thermometer, the sphygmomanometre,
the Decibel Counter, the Geiger
counter...the spoon.
Her blonde headed,
porcelain skinned niece went
to school on an Island north
of Arnhem Land where she was
the only white child.
- She
wants an aboriginal baby but can't
imagine being a mother.
- Her
mother breeds Champion Arabian
Horses, they are all branded with
treble clefs and called names like
Allegro, Minuet, Tremolo,
Vibrato...
- She
loves that.
- She has
the same bra size as Sharon Stone.
She should be in Mensa.
- Her
family is remote. Scattered.
Detached. Her ancestors were
nomadic Berbers and failed
aristocrats.
- Max and
her girlfriend made two video
clips; she a previous
Olympic Ice-skater, skates in one.
There were made on Super 8 in the
Warehouses in which they lived.
'Crashlanding!' is hauntingly
beautiful. Max wrote and produced
the track with the Electric String
Quartet.
- Max is a
loner with no patience.
