"There is an unspoken language between women. Especially between women artists. It is like a shared frequency through which novels can be communicated with a simple knowing glance. Every now and again - like a bolt of lightning - someone comes into your life that exactly embodies a mood, a feeling, a way of being that is exactly aligned with your creative vision. And from these exchanges, however brief, come forth very unexpected things - images, words, sounds, ideas, songs, films, etc.

I met Indigo Sparke in April of 2018 in Topanga Canyon, CA. I had heard bits and pieces of her music through our many mutual friends, but we had yet to meet in person. We had barely gotten through introducing ourselves when we jumped straight into talking about doing a project together. She told me that she was leaving to go back to Australia in May so we began to brainstorm about something we could create in the short time she was here. We were both feeling very inspired by “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes (Indigo collects copies of the book!) as well as the photography of Francesca Woodman. The photos and poem that follow are the result of this first creative spark of inspiration."
