Lizzie. Lizzie Lennard, the one who was photographed. The other, Erica. Sisters.
Erica, the one photographed. They are not twins. Three years separate them.
Their eyes, hair and skin colors are different, as are their facial features and body shapes. They are the same in different times. Sisters elsewhere, in movement perhaps? A certain slowness, in the voice too, sometimes you think you hear the moon as the other speaks, their voices blending together, with an exhausted, exhausting sweetness, a song of the same timbre. The infinite grace of this kinship, the one who photographs and the other who lets herself be taken, the one who does and the one who lets herself be done, the one who demands the crushed immobility of the other and the other who puts it on for herself. How can these sisters "hear" each other any further than they do? The album is admirable because it captures this vertiginous understanding in its very disparity. A kinship that suddenly shifts to women other than the one named Lizzie
