About

The Traveler and the Housewife is a fifteen-page large-scale woodcut comic. The story follows two separated lovers. One goes abroad spreading death and returns altered. The other remains rooted, digging deep into the mythic soil of her home. The diaristic text belies the mythic imagery. The Traveler and the Housewife is part meditation of separation and change and part metaphor for the Columbian Exchange – the mingling of culture, flora and fauna between the Old and New Worlds.
