Story of my life and death
I went to the fortune teller
And she said to me
I don’t mean to scare ya
But you’re coming back
As the worm in tequila
Lisa D'Onofrio
The story of my life and death
This again was a response to Lisa D’Onofrio’s poem. I thought it would be interesting to construct this image in 3D form using several different layers, including model-making, mono print and linocut. The poem is a sharp, short and rather defeated piece, and so this was mimicked by the words winding down to find the ending of the poem at the heart of the piece. The story of my life and death shows the worm in a 3D box frame, reminiscent of Victorian taxidermy, or pinned down as the butterfly that never was.
