The story

Willow leaves gathered from St. Clement’s Island become a school of fish, painted in acrylic and set loose across torn pages from The Cradle of the Deep. The pages were stained with acrylic paint, and tissue paper was woven through the composition.

The paper was torn deliberately so certain relevant phrases would remain visible. The old story is not erased; selected words surface inside the new one.

Look closer. Some words were left behind on purpose.

Errantes names the wanderers. The companion song takes that movement farther.
