Terminus - Limited Edition 1 of 15 Print

I am very interested in art as it relates to music. It is fascinating when a work of art is able to capture a certain sound in a purely visual medium. My recent project, Terminus, is a visual expression of the music of alternative rock band Unwound and a tribute to their enduring legacy 15 years after their last show. It is meant to capture the gritty, sometimes disturbing nature of their music, and to draw the interest of those unfamiliar with the group. It references the highly expressive, seemingly random style of traditional rock-related art, including gig posters and album art from the late ‘90s post-punk revival. When listening to Unwound, I often feel somewhat unsettled and claustrophobic. There is an atmosphere brought about by the sounds they create, and in order to capture this feeling I chose imagery related to various common disasters. The subject of a stuffed bunny in a trap makes the viewer empathize, while the cross mark, drawn from a warning label, gives off a feeling of uncertainty and paranoia. The off-kilter layering of the bunny outlines adds to this feeling, giving a jarring motion to the figure. Various scribbles, textures, and childlike sketches surround the work, further complimenting the gritty undertones. The word “Unwound” lays on its side, cropped and skewed- its stark contrast in both color and content offers a nice juxtaposition to the illustrative qualities of the bunny. The blue and orange colors used are bold and bright, making a strong, in-your-face first impression. 6 Color Screenprint, signed and numbered by artist. Frame not included.
