Publication Date: Women's Studio Workshop, 2003
By graphically isolating words and lines from the August 26, 2001 obituary page of The New York Times, Judith Mohns creates new and nuanced readings of the page's existing text. Her textual manipulations explore the visible and underlying structures of obituaries, families, society, and the qualities of life and death itself, revealing both the cold commonalities and the very personal specifics of the lives of the deceased. Paper: French Dur-O-Tone newsprint paper. Printing method: Photocopy, offset. Binding: Pamphlet stitch. 16 x 16 cm. Edition: 400
