“Starlight” was an elaborate “chamber extravaganza,” which I put together back in San Francisco in 1980.  I had been creating performance pieces by assembling found materials linked in associative structures; this was the most elaborate manifestation.  It used music, props, slides of drawings, and dialogues; all circling around the twin mystics Thomas and Henry Vaughan.  It marked my first foray into ventriloquism.  And Bill Irwin came along for the ride, which was nice of him.  The decor included a set of floor tiles that I made: one side was black, with twin stars on each; the other side assembled to form a black and silver elephant, blown up from a small children’s stencil.

The drawings were rather dense; here are four of them.
