The object clearly demonstrates the artist’s conceptual approach. Books stripped of their usual textual content become a new communication platform. Their open bindings, fixed within the surface of a suspended frame using knotted cords, display a presumed continuous line painted in ink across the pages. This line can be read as a symbolic message about the endless flow of meanings, information, emotions, images, and contexts that books convey.
