When I grow up
I want to be a forester
run through the moss on high heels
that's what I'll do
throwing out a boomerang
waiting for it to come back to me
When I grow up, Fever Ray, Konichiwa Records, 2009
The lyrics float across the lounge room, unawares of their serendipity. As she stands and wraps her own body in swathes of material, the hypnotic baseline serves as an anchor amid the unusual process; a living mummification, a preservation process of sorts. Swaddling herself in colour and line, she wonders what it is exactly that is being preserved. Tradition? Culture? A system of belief? Simply a moment in time and space?
