About This Item
El Sobrante, California:: Lisa Kokin,, 1993.. One-of-a-Kind. 3 x 8.5 x 2.5"; 10 leaves. Materials: globe parts, leather, paper. Mixed media collage. Binding two holes with leather cord. Lisa Kokin: "'Si Fidel!' is a book made out of a cut-up globe. The text relates to a dream in which I became a close confidant of Fidel Castro. Only when I was sure he completely trusted me did I reveal that I was a lesbian." Lisa Kokin uses a variety of recycled and found materials to make book art. She says: "My definition of 'book' is open-ended, a freedom which is in many ways attributable to my lack of formal book art training. I am blissfully unaware of all the rules I am breaking as I go about my routine of sewing, stapling, riveting and otherwise reassembling objects to transform them into something readable. My books address themes which have preoccupied me for many years -- loss, the rescuing of memory, cultural and sexual identity, and a critique of the prevailing social values.
