Tales from Texaco, 2006
Duration: 25:00
live performance
This performance was inspired by events that took place surrounding a local gas station (Ken’s Texaco), which was located in my tiny hometown of Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. The station was opened in 1946 by a man named Ken Tennis, and would remain there for many years to come. In many ways, the Texaco represented the heart of my world as a child. It is through this heart that I go back to years past, recounting the joys of living, and what it was like to begin to understand death.
