to memorize a mark by Linda Welch

I often begin a book with a visual idea, gather raw materials and let the story unfold. By the time the pages are completed, the cover and ultimately the title of the book present themselves. As I was working and putting the pages in final order, I noticed random pencil marks, postmarks and ink smudges. This formed the visual cohesion for the book and thus the title.
