Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll take a look. You know, I wasn’t going to bother seeing the exhibition but my friend suggested we go and I’m so happy I went. Totally inspiring in so many ways.
Looking forward to it! I have written a little about it here and there but never a full book review.
In this piece, which is more about the author's other books, I mentioned:
Carver writes about how much loss Yoko Ono experienced - of parents, of children, of partners - and how she seemed to deeply integrate the idea that we are all one, that life is just energy, and so loss is painful and she will howl and moan (literally) in the experience of it but also it's not exactly loss. Carver writes, "You can do it again in another place with another person, and it will be a new mix, coming back to the same experience through another door, and it will be different, and it will be the same."
Love the soundscape!
It was interesting for me to do something non visual. Glad you enjoyed it!
Haven’t seen the exhibit but love her work. The book Reaching Out with No Hands: Reconsidering Yoko Ono really inspired me.

Glad you got the chance to go. I’ll be curious for your thoughts if you do read the book.
Sounds like an opportunity to write a book review! Will put that on my to-do list
