An amalgam of moments and an accumulation of fragments.
Birdsong, coyotes howling, tornado warnings instead of honking,
bodega vibes and subway stops -
A true change indeed.
WONDERMENTAL is an amalgamation of musings on the changing landscape - a collection of the ways time passes and people adapt (or don't) in response to a contrary modern world. Vassilakis chronicles the ten-year aftermath of picking up and moving from New York City to Greenville, IL, an unfolding that veered between bewildered urban dweller and a contender for farm life.
WONDERMENTAL entails living through the early rigors of Covid and obsessing over the poison issuing from political theater in the media - and describes it through fragmenting thoughts, mournfulness, and a hunger for something more.
