An artists' book telling the story of two islands, Maximin's ex-ile Guadalupe and the island of Australia for the artists Hartog-Gautier and Lee. The handmade paper becomes an island lifted out of the water leaving traces of text and art exploring the themes of migration, travel and exile, memory, geography, language and history all bound to suggest a suitcase which is akin to a book sharing within it the most precious of possessions - memory and artifacts.
