Submission to the Cities and Memory "Smithsonian Treasures" project. May 2020​

​

"On the cusp of discovering her own self in Baltimore, she fell in love with Ross Perot on a blind date and married him; never to become the social worker she was studying to be. With their amassed wealth, mostly due to Ross Perot's real estate investments and political aspirations, she instead was swept into a life of philanthropy.

​

My sound piece is about her getting a glimpse into her future as a supportive, consistent, and generous partner, and that crucial moment where her life diverges. It consists mostly of wind chimes: some recorded by myself in Baltimore and others borrowed from public domain."
