<p>Home is an illustrated semi-autobiographical journal by artist and<br />author Jeffrey Schweitzer created between 2016 and 2019. During this<br />period the artist spent a significant amount of time rebuilding a 1957<br />Stearling travel trailer and using it as a mobile studio space in<br />which to work on art projects. The text for this project is<br />essentially a group of very short anecdotes typed with an old<br />typewriter. All of the edits and imperfections in the texts were<br />deliberately left in the book to embrace the informal journal-like<br />quality of the project. Many of the illustrations in this book are<br />very small pen and ink paintings merely a few inches in size. These<br />originals were created using layers of handmade paper varnished<br />together giving these pieces a dream-like vinete that alludes to the<br />idea of faded memories. When all of this content was brought together<br />to create the book Home it was organized more in the spirit of a<br />curated exhibition of writing and illustrations only loosely linear<br />but emblematic of a period in time and style shift in the artists<br />production.  This is the first time we see the artist typing stories<br />directly onto very small layered paintings and taking a more informal<br />approach to storytelling</p>
