YOKO ONO-"GREENFIELD MORNING (I Pushed a Baby Carriage...)"
Yoko did everything first. Before Bowie and Eno, before Punk, before you even. (1970)
Yoko was a famous conceptual artist with the Fluxus group, before the Beatles were known. She regularly challenged perceptions about femininity and the world around us. She made experimental films, wrote concept books, had gallery showings internationally, and met John. With him, she explored noise rock, extreme scales, electronic soundscapes, cut-up collage albums made from samples, piano confessionals, beautiful pop, punk grrl, Feminist politics, ethereal and edgy songs, terse synth, funky rave-ups, reggae dub... in short, every style there is. All by 1975, no less.
The Rock press, a recent invention itself at the time, thought Women In Rock meant either groupies or Joni Mitchell. Period. A Japanese woman making extremely smart art while championing Feminism and radical causes freaked the hell out of them. Ignoring the range of her work, they typecast her with the tired old stereotype: 'shrill, broke up the boys, gold-digger'. This hand-me-down hate persists to this day. It is regularly mouthed by folks who actually know none of her work.
Meanwhile, on the real side, she is a prime inspiration for new geniuses. The X-Ray Spex, B-52's, Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen, Sonic Youth, many PostPunks, Shonen Knife, Public Enemy, Sinead, the Beasties, Diamand Galas, Courtney Love, Kathleen Hannah, Bjork, Cibl Matto, and Sub-Division give her gratitude. DJs have remixed her as chart-toppers this whole decade.
A new album out now, "Yes, I'm a Witch", features acolytes covering her: Peaches, Flaming Lips, Le Tigre, Hank Shocklee of PE, Cat Power, DJ Spooky. Act like you know...
Check out where it started with this song from 1970's "Plastic Ono Band", called "Greenfield Morning I Pushed An Empty Baby Carriage All Over the City":
Yoko Ono, eerie chorals
John Lennon, guitars
Klaus Voorman, bass
Ringo Starr, drums

YOKO ONO-"WINTER FRIEND" (1974)
Beautiful pop ballad from 1974!
When John and Yoko had a trial seperation in '74, she recorded a beautiful and intimate album on her own called "A Story". It deftly weaves haunting confessionals with radiant, elegant melodies. Sadly it went unreleased when they reconciled; if it had come out, the world would have had to admitted her talent far sooner. But it did emerge on CD from Ryko Records in the 90's, just as timeless and warm as sunshine. Definitely one to track down!

Madonna & Child OR Re-Parenting My Inner Child
Madonna & Child OR Re-Parenting My Inner Child.
A film by Mary Bogdan.
The significance of the work lies in the creative process as well as in the final piece itself. It involves recycling, recovery, manipulation, and the alteration of "found" objects.
My works are a personal vision of self-discovery and a recognition of continual reinvention.
It is the shaping of the self through the creation of art and the development of the art through self construction.
Like my personal journey, the "found" objects are brought to life and also transformed.
This ongoing and evolving cycle is the essence of my work.
