'UN-SPEAK-ABLE' Exhibit, March 2011

Tricia Treacy and Ashley John Pigford, 'Lexicology' letterpress cards wrapped in letterpress printed butcher paper

Lexicology is both an artists’ book and an interactive, collaborative performance. The book is an unbound (random-order) collection of letterpress-printed cards, wrapped in butcher paper. The text printed on the cards is excerpted from various children’s books, which serves as a metaphor for the bits of conversation one experiences everyday, and is poetically simplistic in nature. This book was performed in both Philadelphia and New York City during 2010.
