an external embodiment of my
internal artist.”
Runciman grew up in South
Orange and Galietti grew up in
Lincoln Park. Ironically they both
used to skate at the same ice rink
but their paths never crossed
until she was living in Manhattan
and his band came to the area on
tour. The two collaborate under
the name The Bull and Arrow.
It’s partially based on astrology
(Runciman is a Taurus) and
partially a word play on bow and
arrow.
“I liked the word play and that it
also had an individual or personal
effect,” explained Galietti. “It
relates to both of us, but there’s
also this inter-dependence
between the two. It makes you
think of bow and arrow and
how you need the two of them
to work. As we start to invite
more and more artists into the
collaborations, I love the idea
of how we as people need each
other to support one another. And
when everyone comes together
and everyone brings their A game,
it just raises the bar that much
more. It becomes this beautiful
thing.”
