Pocket Full of Shells

Sound has been an important space for us. A healing space where we sit, share, laugh, and play. Sound and song become our escape and our renewal. Initially, when thinking of a concept and title, the lyrics “ rally around the family, with a pocket full of shells “ came to mind from Rage Against the Machine. It registered in a couple of different ways... first, the family reference, then the pocket full of shells conjured up thoughts of our numerous outings at the beach at Shinnecock, where we would collect shells and walk along the shore. In a counterpoint, a reference to military shells and to how we use our platforms as a way to resist, exist, and express. In a way, seemingly unrelated things become curated in a theoretical pocket... Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine - Frank Buffalo Hyde, Courtney M.
