Adrift in the Days is a visual and written essay inspired by annual rhythm. Each day of the year has an eve, a day, and a morrow. Anticipation, commemoration, and reflection are equivalent ways of moving more fully through the year. We may pause for observances and holidays, indeed they are days to savor, but every day is unique.

This semester-long grant allowed me studio space and access to book-making equipment to create Adrift in the Days, a collection of more than 70 illustrations and 12 essays deconstructing what makes holidays unique, and a glossary of the various meanings of the word “day.” The book was digitally printed and bound by hand.
