Circa 1990


This artist book recalls past summers of cicadas and childhood maps of backyard play areas. It juxtaposes these memory maps with the pattern of the cicada wings to create a nostalgia and longing for a suburban past, a past that can possibly only be truly found within the hissing sounds that return every 17-years.

2007, 12″ x 4″, woodcut, vellum, inkjet printed wings
