Suzanne Ryan Wood

• Front-hinging accordian-bound letterpress book with bellyband. Written, illustrated, printed, and bound at the SAIC Type Shop Fall 2012 using Bulmer 8, 12, and 24 pt. type and Xerox transfers. When laid flat the book measures 5”x5”, each spread is 10”x5” except the two fold-outs pictured, which measure 10”x10” and 15” x 5” respectively.

• The book tells the story of my Grandmother through selected memories and imagery, exploring both the subjectivity of memory and our personal curations of memory--the way we use external objects to define someone’s inner essence.
