ACOUSTIC LYRIC VIDEOS

‘Away is Mine’ is a sincere and intimate anthology of Gord’s reflections on his life, from mundane ruminations to profound revelations and concessions.

This video series attempts to realize this through the reanimation of his hand-written lyrics. It is a response, not only to Gord’s lyrics, but also to what can be gleaned from his writing process. The videos take on an ethereal presence as Gord’s voice becomes embodied by his handwriting. The animation mediates conversations between Gord and his daughters, Clare and Willo; their watercolour paintings respond to the sentiments with us he leaves behind.
