Photographs and diary entries made during a 2007 residency at Village Nomade in Switzerland, in a third edition covered in twenty-two colours of cloth. The pictures show flowers in the grounds, views of her room and her young son, and were inspired by flower photographs her grandmother made some twenty-five years earlier, found in a box in her late grandfather's house. Like a scrapbook, photo pages, text pages and sheets of craft paper are bound in random order, with airline tickets and notes slipped in, and the diary entries are printed on tracing paper in the slow look of a typewriter out of register. A document of family across time and distance, in which the art direction is part of the work.
