Description

This book is unique as it explores memory on a variety of planes - artistic, scientific, emotional, and spiritual. Through artistic images and imaginative text, the reader is able to delve into the place of memory both as a universal concept, and ultimately in a uniquely profound and personal way. Using metaphor, both visual and literary, the artist author takes us metaphorically through her book, and as we flip the pages any way, forward or backward, unravels the way in which we remember involves creativity, no matter who you are.
