Lines

Lines (2012) is composed of handwritten, hand-cut larger than life lines from an essay by French Literary Theorist Maurice Blanchot entitled “Reading.” It is a riddle of sorts: “What is a book that no one reads? Something that is not yet written.” It can also be read as a taunt or a procrastination. The repetition of the lines, the material crafting of the work, becomes a proxy standing in for the thing itself (the book left unread or unwritten).
