About This Item
El Sobrante, California:: Lisa Kokin,, 2021.. One-of-a-Kind. 8 x 6.5 x 1.5"; 12 leaves plus front and back covers. Materials: aluminum, wire. Bound with wire through reinforced holes in the edges of the leaves. Initialed and dated by the artist. Lisa Kokin: "Part of my 'Wordless Library' series, this book has unreadable 'text' made by puncturing the aluminum with a sewing machine without thread." The twelve leaves produce two text pages. The artist's punctures are made to the recto side of the aluminum sheet producing another image of the punctures on the verso. It is much along the lines of blind embossing. Kokin says "I am intrigued by text based work that uses asemic text, which is something that looks like text but isn't made up of actual words."
