This piece is a bit different from much of my other work. In “Cold Moon, No Stars, the haunting echo of a disturbing dream awakened me in the middle of a frigid winter night. Disoriented, I rose from the bed, took a few steps, and turned around. The light of December’s “Cold Moon”, full and undiluted, shone through the clear night sky, hauntingly illuminating my empty bed. When I looked at the photo the next day, the unsettling emotions of the dream resurfaced. The image and the eerie atmosphere felt almost Lynchian. Exactly one month later, David Lynch left this earth, but his art endures. This piece, and the emotions it evokes, are in memory of him. “Cold Moon” is the name of the December Full Moon. “No Stars”—a haunting track from Twin Peaks: The Return—best captures the feeling of this image, and a bright full moon, such as this one, will prevent the stars in its region of the sky from appearing. “No Stars”, from Rebekah Del Rio’s website, can be found on this page: https://rebekahdelrio.com/listen
