This Is The Song That Doesn’t End
2024
Calico, cotton, wool, ink. White frame.
33 × 28cm
Bus rides to swimming lessons, camps and excursions were spent singing, harmonised and everything (I was always the quasi-alto). Sister Act and Prince of Egypt faves were on high rotation but once the sillies hit, this song would loop and loop forever and ever until a teacher yelled out for us to be quiet. I noticed the TikTok effect in real life recently on a bus ride with my child’s class to Healesville Sanctuary - the kids sang the same two lines from the one Backstreet Boys song they knew over and over and over. They looked at us parents equally confused and unimpressed as we over-enthusiastically continued with the rest of the song, remembering all the verses and attempting the iconic 90s vocal runs. They may not know all songs to completion but at least they weren’t singing this annoying one!
Typed with vintage typewriter onto vintage calico found in op-shops and second hand craft stores. Calico pieces intuitively sewn into prose patchworks with dyed wool felt pieces hand sewn into place.
