"Behind the Roman Nose"
Artist's book w/ japanese binding, linocut and inkjet printing.
7.75" x 6.75" Edition of 8, 2008
As a transcribed and illustrated book of my grandfather's "autobiography" (written for a class project when he was in eighth grade), Behind the Roman Nose is at once a graphic imagining of the events described as well as a testament to the power of stories passed down. These fragments are in no way the whole picture, but often become the majority of what we remember about family members. The entire edition was distributed amongst family members as a holiday gift.
