11" × 22" Set of 3 Silkscreen prints on newspaper
To me, obituaries are the typographic equivalent of cemeteries. I wanted to explore the affect of overlaying the lyrics on top of the obitz.
The lyrics are about loss of love:
- Blue: Reconsider Baby, 1954 by Lowell Fulson
- Pink: Killing Floor, 1964 by Chester Burnett
- Yellow: Oh! Darling, 1969 by Lennon-McCartney
Each color is used to split the lyrics into two voices to be read separately or combined.
The newspaper will eventually become yellow, brittle with age and fall apart.
