Many people over many years have come to know Jarboe as an artist, as a musician, as a resilient re-invention over time. To many it’s the howling subtlety of Swans to the brash growl of Jarboe solo. In 2016, who is Jarboe to you and what do you want people to take away from your presence physically and creatively?
Re-invention is re-evaluation. Re-evaluation can mean radical purging of possessions and former practises. It can mean fasting. Re-evaluation is necessary in my opinion. I stripped down the studio. I began to paint and found a voice in that medium. I love painting as a form of music. The process of creating a painting is meditative and laborious. The solitary aspect of it is intimate.
