This book is a collection of images of pages from the artist's journals. The pages contain a mixture of writings, cut-outs, rubbings, sketches and found objects, such as dried lilies and wine labels. On some of the opposing pages are pieces of poetical text, seemingly unrelated, but which add another dimension to the reading of the book.
The work is a travelogue of sorts; an 'accounting of where her feet (and hands and mind) have taken her' (Jerome Rothenberg, from the preface of the book).
Knowles has mined her original travel books and pasted them on to fresh sheets, further supplementing them with new material collected more recently on a European trip, annotated with explanatory footnotes.
The book accompanied an exhibition by the artist at the Emily Harvey Gallery in October 2000.
