2010 Annual Report

After losing his father in 2010, Nicholas poured through his calendars, passports, slides and mementos to create a data-biography of his life. The narrative of these artifacts starts in pre-war Berlin and criss-crosses the world over eighty-one years. By cataloging and compiling the details of these objects, a multi-dimensional portrait of Gordon Felton’s life emerges through historical photos, detailed maps, charts and statistics.
