TRAIN GONE, SORRY

This book is a singular unit of art in itself, more like a portfolio than separate pieces... it is a saga, a comic book series, an elegy, an anthem. It is a 100 page collection of full color artwork and poetry. The topics range from grief to relationships to hearing loss. It is about being a recordkeeper, a keeper of time. The title is a common American Sign Language idiom that means 'sorry, you missed something we said and no one is repeating it for you', or something along those lines. The train is also a trope for the common elements in all of our lives; the things that have passed and can no longer be retrieved.
