Hello Mike, Interesting use of space with the stipline graphic - definitely hang together more interestingly and engagingly there, almost an ekphrastic effect.  Captures some of the angst and regret, acknowledging the star's continuing fascination for us, the ability to move us viscerally though very long gone.
