Screenprint, printed in silver, red, and blue-grey, from three screens on paper. "Mike Parr produced a two-sided print for the portfolio. The first side is a three-colour screenprint with the refrain [at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them] decreasing in size so that the body of the text seems to compress towards a vanishing point, with the Australian Rising Sun badge at the top. Parr reasoned that the diminution of the refrain was a melancholic device as well as a reflection on the passage of memory through generations. The second side is a three plate etching/drypoint on a copperplate. Parr started with the portrait which was created from his own reflection in the highly polished surface of the blank plate. It is slightly anamorphic and is a generic Parr portrait image [‘of the male Parr line’] of his father. The hand etched text relates to Parr’s family history of his uncle Edgar in the First World War and his father in the second. The text is quite illegible which was important to Parr as he felt this side was much more personal and private than the first. The prints speak of eroded memory and the conflation of handed down stories." - Australian War Memorial
