Lisa Kokin: The Wordless Library

September 1 - October 3, 2021

The Wordless Library is an installation of book-like structures made of copper and aluminum in which threadless stitches follow lines reminiscent of text. In some pieces they are grouped into “words," while in other works they look as though an animal has bored into them, creating uneven lacunae. Some are books with pages, unreadable and repetitive, forming random lines and patterns, stark and minimalist, artifacts of the times we are living through.
