Notes

"A montage of drawings, photographs and journal entries, illustrating my travels through Tunisia and the Sahara, presents an uncommon view of its colorful history and people. Pages of varying heights and widths allow images to interact among the pages. Hand-bound into a leather folio opening in the reverse, with a flap to protect it from the dust of the desert, in the tradition of an Arabic book." --Artist's statement

"Printed on an Indigo press." --Colophon
