“Printed letterpress on Canson & Fabriano papers in Centaur. The embroidered words are in Braille, a system of raised dots developed to allow the blind to read”–Colophon.

” … Poem about how sight can be deceiving, that perhaps trusting one’s sense of touch can be a better measure of the world. I’ve paired Lee’s words with lines written in Braille using French knots, to emphasis [sic] this tactile theme. The spreads are woven together with a technique devised by Elizabeth Steiner. ” –(From information card inserted by artist).
