Overheard, Understood


This project was all about eavesdropping. I this conversation between a a guy and a girl while I was at work. The girl was buying a huge pile of textbooks when she told the guy she didn't study. Whether or not he was really trying to pick her up or even if they knew each other, I don't know. But I interpreted the situation as a total rejection. He got shot down. This was a really fun project and I gave a very "high school", naive sort of feel to reflect what i understood to be going on. It's collage and inks. The original is 12" x 20" so the note paper I actually made by hand using a one-hole punch and blue and red ink for the lines.
