NERVURE is a solo project that was originally called “Goodbye Pavlova.” It began with the idea of the departure or fall of a false icon—or an icon-to-be—Pavlova, the clown, the character I longed to bring to life. Unable to let go, she grapples with feelings of restlessness.
In the insect world, a nervure is the delicate network of veins that supports the wing membrane.
