- Notes:
- Each linocut is based on one of the 21 chapters of Primo Levi's book The periodic table, which describes his experiences as a chemist imprisoned in Auschwitz in 1943. Each chapter refers to an element in the periodic table, relating the properties of the elements to fascist ideology. Levi's text provides the formal structure for Woodrow's visual narrative. Each print is identified by the chemical name of the element and refers to key details within the text.
