(unframed print, 13 in. wide x 19 in. high)
$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.
Art description: A quiet record of shared readership, these cards recorded the circulation of a book through stamped due dates. Each mark linked successive readers, transforming a public object into a layered record of community engagement. Tucked into paper pockets at the back of the book, the cards offered a glimpse into the unseen chain of hands and minds that interacted with the same text. They embedded time directly into the object, creating a rhythm of borrowing and return. In this way, the library book became not just a container of knowledge, but a participant in an ongoing, collective narrative.
Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price.
