"R & R," a small accordion-fold book with its house/tombstone shaped box, depicts a fanciful interpretation of a dance of death cycle. It recounts the response of two grandchildren encountering the loss of their grandparents. The resulting depiction of death is both playful and macabre, with dancing skeletons within a pop-up garden, a shadowy theatre of hanging human forms, and a house of death.
