In early 2014, Nance was diagnosed with an incurable neurological condition. But not only did she refuse to slow down, she began an extensive new body of work, on scratchboard, which ultimately grew to over 600 tablets produced over the last four years of her life. The tablets explore the many emotional and spiritual dimensions of mortality, and range from intensely personal to metaphoric to abstract. The TABLETS section of this site presents a much larger sample of her work in 2014-2018, but Nance also created a few tablet sets as self-contained ‘books’. This is one of them.
