"The playful structure of ANCHORED, an origami petal fold, reveals variations on the "row, row, row your boat" nursery rhyme. It was inspired by visits to see my father as he was ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. Despite losing most of his memories, the very earliest sometimes remained - like the refrain of familiar songs. Challenging pain or anxiety could be directed by a rousing round of "row, row". Dad always joined in with gusto, finding profound relief in knowing the words and being - as he always was - an essential part of the fun. The last round ends the song: "just come home to me." The edition of 40 books was letterpress printed with handset type and ornaments in one large circular form on vintage maritime maps and Usuzumi paper, then cut into pages before binding."--Colophon

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
