When he left: Index of first lines

This is a collaboration between a poet and a painter: my sister and myself.

Each painting in the series is based on a line from the poem, When he left: Index of first lines.

The words of the poem are inscribed, painted, plastered, carved and washed away, line by line, on panels of Sheetrock.

When installed as the walls of a room, the Sheetrock panels read the length of the poem.

This is the Rooney sisters' first collaboration.
