A double tunnel book allows two parallel realities to be presented simultaneously: the artist's mother, victim of dementia, exists "in other places and other times"; the family sees a different and more troubling reality. Emily Martin: "My mother has frontal lobe dementia. From the beginning her diagnosis was very troubling for her and the rest of the family. As time has passed and her dementia has progressed the family continues to note her deterioration and mourn her loss to us. She, however, is less and less aware of her changing state. She is more and more often in other places and times where she is busy and happy. None of us can follow her where she goes but there is nothing to be gained by trying to remind her of where she really is."--Artist's statement.

Edition Notes
Limited edition of 25 copies, signed by the artist on the back board endsheet.
"I made this book in response to the call for entries from the Guild of Book Workers for the Horizon exhibit ... The text lines were laser printed onto Mohawk Superfine 100 lb Text paper. The images in the left-hand tunnel were also laser printed and then colored using paste paints and my fingers. The images in the right-hand tunnel were made with an ink transfer monoprinting technique. The hard covers were covered with orange Duotone book cloth. The format used is a double tunnel book of my own devising. The book is enclosed in a clamshell box covered with Japanese book cloth."--Colophon on separate sheet.
Two tunnel books bound facing each other within two unconnected orange cloth-covered boards, which allow the tunnel books to be opened and viewed concurrently. Paste papers, ink transfer drawings, and laser printing on Mohawk Superfine paper. Images in the left-hand tunnel laser printed then colored using paste paints and fingers. Images in the right-hand tunnel made using an ink transfer monoprinting technique. Text laser printed. Colophon on separate single sheet. Laid in a cloth-covered drop-spine box.
Rare Book copy: No. 8.
