about

Leonora Carrington (England/Mexico, 1917-2011).

Leonora Carrington, a painter and novelist born in England, who spent most of her working life in Mexico, was one of the longest-lived and most prolific of all the surrealists. Her intensely potent paintings are marked by an interest in the subconscious, as well as in mythology. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, her work has begun to find a broader audience than it previously had, and she was the subject of a 2017 BBC television documentary, "The Lost Surrealist."

Carrington has somehow managed to insist upon having two tracks to herself on the album—the only artist to have more than one. Both are named for her painting And Then We Saw the Daughter of the Minotaur! (1953).

lyrics

She said:

Here is where I was born
In the wood
In the vast wood.
And in the rain that fell, my mother exulted.
I have seen it, glimpses—
In my dreams, in my ecstasies.

And here is also where
My mother died, that very night.
There’s the grave
Profound and secret.

Wildflower and wood
Wildflower and my mother.
Wildflower and wood
Wildflower and my mother.
