Photos of the artist’s ancestors and other evocative images like a pocket watch, a locket, an ink pen are recreated as multiple block woodcuts. All evoke the passage of time. We sit looking back with the artist recalling family members and family legends, “Most faces I don’t recognize, but I can see the present in the past.” The background of each spread, printed with a wallpaper-like pattern, suggests that we are walking through the doorways of memory into many rooms.
