These Drawings are part of a series of 50 fired drawing known as "The Archives of a Lost Revolution." Because foreign art supplies were banned from import into the Philippines, Bose used materials commonly available in the Mountains of Northern Luzon, Philippines. These include, paper made from cogon (wild grass) and abaca, a kerosene & soap photo transfer process, and ink made from lemon juice milk that would set when fired.
