During the seventh year of living in Los Angeles, Tan gained access privileges to the Getty Research Institute. She would spend her evenings researching the Institute’s extensive collection of travel books. A seductive set of Italian travel guidebooks from the Touring Club Italiano caught her attention. The resulting piece consists of twenty-three frottage drawings of the covers of the books from each region in Italy.
