The background graphic not only has the 16 great-great-grandparent names in a crossword format, it connects to itself and repeats indefinitely (tiled). The faint images behind the names are from real pictures of family significance: the silver chalice passed down from my 5th great-grandparents of the 1700s; the Adler, the ship that Knud & Liv left Norway on; the Viking axe-head and sword found in a grave at in Luster near where my 8th great-grandfather lived in the 1600s; and the tea kettle my German great-great-grandfather, Diedrich Stolle, a sea captain, brought to Chicago from Norway. |
