About This Item
El Sobrante, California:: Lisa Kokin,, 2022.. One-of-a-Kind. 7.25 x 6". Materials: Patinated copper, thread, safety pins, mull, silk. Signed on the back in upper left rectangle. Lisa Kokin: "Part of my 'Wordless Library' series, this book has text made with manipulated safety pins." Each character fashioned from a safety pin is up to the viewer to interpret. Asemic writing? Hieroglyphs? Codes? A new language? Lisa Kokin, Wordless Library Series: "In the 'Wordless Library' series, I make conceptual book-like objects by sewing on metal with my beat up old jalopy of a Kenmore sewing machine, circa 1975. It is immensely satisfying, even cathartic, to puncture the metal with my machine. I start each piece without a preconceived notion of what it will become. I patinate, I puncture, and I perforate. "The stitch less stitches follow lines reminiscent of text; sometimes they are even grouped into 'words.' Other times 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.
