A sense of mourning and loss haunts Denise Schatz’s delicate little artist’s book, the pages of which consist of handmade Chinese rice paper printed with drawings of a woman’s hair made with pencil and rubbed to form a soft halo around each strand. Toward the end of the book, Schatz includes a printed email message that reads “Another time, I received a letter in the mail. I read it and then boiled it on the stove until the ink disappeared. I thought of you.”
