Cerith Wyn Evans

6 cut-outs on book page in artist’s frame

A delicate interplay of absence and presence, this work features six precise cut-outs punctuating the surface of a book page, transforming printed text into a fragmented, poetic object. The deliberate incisions create voids that simultaneously obscure and reveal, inviting the viewer to consider what lies beneath or beyond the written word. Housed in a frame chosen by the artist himself, the work bridges the intimate scale of literature with the formal language of sculpture and conceptual art.
