Mary Ting, Insomnia, 2009, New York, ed. 12.


An interesting work from this Chinese American visual artist who is based in New York. This piece was created for the 2009 Women Artists International Biennial in Incheon, Korea. The book includes images from her installation, Run-On Sentences as well as works from the drawing series Insomnia in the Other Garden a piece that included watercolor, soot, silkscreen and cut paper drawings. The book reads as per the Chinese language, from the end of the book to the front, which is curiously how the pre-Columbian codices were structured. Eight pages at 7" x 5.5" and fully opened 3' 8". For further information about Ting's work see:http://www.maryting.com/
