Destroyer's Rubies
Note: These are now sold out. But due to the wonderful (if frankly bewildering) amount of interest, a second run of smaller, cheaper prints is definitely happening! Email me if you'd be interested.

A1, two-colour screenprint. Edition of 15.

Asked to respond to the word banausic, I chose to take the most grandiose, wilfully complex thing I knew and express it as mechanically and cold as I could manage. 'Destroyer's Rubies' by Destroyer was that thing.

I transcribed the entire album and produced an exhaustive collection of diagrams and analysis, including: every word contained in the album in order of how many times it appears; references; grammatical structure; and the overall distribution of lyrics and 'la's.
