Throat Singing in Drohobycz


Throat Singing in Drohobycz is a hand-painted book, page size 18.5" x 12.5" (opens to 18.5" x 25"), 56 pages plus cover, painted on Stonehenge, created in 2016, and bound by John Demerritt. Words in the book are lifted from Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz, murdered by the Nazis in 1942. It is meant to be my homage to the writer, murdered by the Nazis in 1942.
