In this artist's book, reproducing at nearly full size more than a hundred pen and ink drawings executed over four decades, Moore depicts the architecture (with several views for each structure) and the site and neighborhood for every house in which he has lived (from 1942 to 2013), as well as drawing every vehicle that he has ever owned. A tour-de-force visual-textual autobiography, both a virtuoso feat of memory and an exuberant celebration of the interweaving of stories and material circumstances.
