"Darling, Don't Take Me When You're Ready to Go" Print

from MAITA

Poster/Print

5" x 7" cardstock print, designed by Maria Maita-Keppeler and screen printed at Iconartistry in Portland, OR.

From Maria:

I was reading a historical book about the dust bowl and got caught on a line about a married couple. The husband was so depressed by the prospect of the impending doom that he shot his wife and then himself. I love exploring tensions within relationships, and had to wonder what the wife’s perspective was—did she have a choice? Perhaps she would have been strong enough. The song is a bit of a murder ballad which is out of character for me, but I wanted to focus not on the details of the murder, but on the emotions and the power dynamics surrounding it. The exploration of power dynamics between men and women will always be relevant.
