The popular song,“If It’s the Beaches” by the Avett Brothers is a favorite of mine.the repetition, tone, and word choice cause the song to echo in the mind of a listener. Similarly, this echoing of the song could continue while doing daily tasks such as walking down a sidewalk.
The finished work would have to embody the song’s tone and lyrics in a visible manner that is undeniably relevant to the Avett Brother’s work and style.the posters would need to continue the narrative of the song by using all present and natural materials necessary in this site specific work. However it is the manipulation and appropriation of the lyrics onto different surfaces along a sidewalk that continue the song’s visual appearance.
As individually sold pieces of a collection, the posters show this appropriation of lyrics into the daily routine of walking along a sidewalk.the tune and emotion of the Avett Brothers continues out of the listener’s mind and onto the area and people surrounding them.the execution of the posters and typography utilizes no creative programs or digital retouching other than for printing and labeling.
