Scope and Contents

One of the more unique items in the collection, this work looks like a pack of Salem cigarettes, the brand of cigarettes that the grandfather of the artist, Amy Pirkle, smoked before he died from lung cancer. Inside are eight cylinders resembling cigarettes but are actually tightly rolled scrolls with stories of the artist's memories of her grandfather.
