| General note | "Stripping the maritime alphabet of its primary colors except blue and replacing them with muted browns and blacks, Mourning/Warning highlights the relationship of Americans of the African diaspora to water and maritime trade as well as the need for an alternate means of communication in time of emergency and duress. How do you send a warning call that hatred comes constantly in waves?"--Colophon. |
| General note | "This set of numerical and repeater, or substitute, maritime flags compliments the alternative alphabetic flags featured in the abecedarian Mourning/Warning. The repeaters make letter and number duplication possible or in this case patterns of pain, grief, humiliation"--Colophon. |
| General note | "Conceived of in Newport, Rhode Island and completed in New Haven, Connecticut, M/W 2 was digitally printed in Josefin Sans typeface"--Colophon. |
