![]() ![]() I remember I got a little Airbnb in Reykjavík with noisy neighbours. I’m a vegetarian but in your mother’s memory I will eat the meat soup with you. ![]() We all went there for her wake and had macchiato and meat soup in her honour. And you told me that was where your mother used to go to have meat soup.ī: Yes, she always had a macchiato and Icelandic meat soup. OV: I finished that book, coincidentally, in The Perlan in Iceland, in Reykjavík. It gave the experience a gorgeous purpose. ī: It’s all in a beautiful mix for me, the cacti inside the Vietnam jungle – thank you for holding my hand through that. So now I always connect the story of your mother in Vietnam with. I had food poisoning and I was stuck in this beautiful house, delirious among all these cacti and had you reading your book to me. Did you know that I was in Mexico City two years ago and I listened to the audiobook of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous. It was wonderful to have two artists see each other so clearly, so I just want to thank you again for that.ī: Thank you. When we met, you had just lost your own mother. Mothering is also an act without gender as well as a biological reality – it’s both. What I realised with your music – and this album especially – is that we all have a mother, but we also have people, friends, family who mother us. My mother was sick and it was one month before she passed and you were so generous with me – so mothering. I’ll never forget it – it was this 90F day in October. It’s also a pleasure to talk to you again after our serendipitous meeting in New York in 2019. I’ve been really enjoying immersing myself in your new album, Fossora. This article is taken from the Autumn/Winter 2022 issue of AnOther Magazine:ījörk: Ocean, I read your wonderful book about your mother, Time Is a Mother. ![]()
