Field notes
Navigation breaks the material into fifteen chronological phases and seven parallel threads, including making, food, health, home, cloth, knowledge and society. Separate sections expose cast, map, story, sketches, videos and an A–Z index. The page marks 60 of 141 sketches as drawn, a visible sign that its illustrated layer is not complete even though the main sequence is extensively populated.
