Alternate imagery:

Some of the boxes include variations, as noted below.

Some covers have faded text at the center, instead of pure white (non-printed) areas.  This was intentional.

Some copies of "Marigold" have the yellow layer (intentionally) printed 180 degrees off register.

Some copies of "Lighthearted Gold" have the title (intentionally) printed sideways.

(Boxes are assigned on a random basis)

"In 1985 I met a girl, and fell in love.  A few years later she fell in love.  Then she fell out of love, then she fell in love.  Then she fell out of love.  Afterwards, I spent a long time fucking up everything I could get my hands on.

In 1990 I made these prints.  I put them in a plastic bag from Dominick's Finer Foods.

{{many women, heartbreak, etc.}} 

In 2010 I met a girl, and we fell in love.  Then something happened, but I'm not sure what.  I didn't understand -- don't/do understand (what happened), perhaps don't want to understand, but mostly just -- --

I'm 42 years old.  I made these boxes, and now the plastic bag is empty.
