"Patty Live June"
The text is sourced from transcriptions of Patty Hearst's taped messages while she was in the captivity of the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974. This recording originated as a sculpture in 2016, taking several different forms over the past few years. This final draft was assembled in June 2020 and is part of an upcoming release on Anòmia.
