A collaboration between NKW and Iñaki Beaskoa.

LINGER: L.O.S.T is a piece / conversation between two artists about intuition, longing, and the joy of being a little Lost.

Sometimes, Being Lost feels like striding further into the forest, and Finding Yourself might look like you’re Lingering on Stone Thoughts: Listening to what was thought to be misplaced.

What’s been holding you back? What feels right? What is that dream you’ve had itching at the corners of your mind?

After Beaskoa drew the image, NKW was inspired to write the short abstract piece of prose that attempted to describe a feeling they had both discussed many times. How it feels to move forward, blind, but holding onto trust that you are moving towards what the soul inside your body wants.

He could feel the tingling — the throb and the ringing — running through his Bod the closer he stepped towards this particular Head, which was, for quite some miles, alone with its tendril thoughts.

They, all of them, loomed large and light all over the island. Partly buried under desert and dune, or sticking out like little islands of their own from the surface of the sea; mouths always parted some distance, as if to breathe. Just like the Jumping Fish.

He had always wondered and wandered, curious about what it felt like to know. No Bod was ever around to show him. But the closer he movedto this Head, the louder the question arose:

Where do you want to go?

Stay here, lingering on stone thoughts, or Run. Safety, Comfort. Run and Hide, Run and Hide. Safety, Comfort. Run and Hide.
Run.
