Jac Leirner

felt, airline glasses and polyurethane cord

1993

Jac Leirner assembles found and collected objects — felt, airline glasses, and polyurethane cord — into a work that reflects her longstanding interest in accumulation, systems, and the poetic potential of everyday materials. The transparent glasses, likely gathered from commercial flights, are bound and ordered through the cord, creating a delicate tension between industrial repetition and handmade arrangement. True to Leirner's practice, the piece transforms mundane, disposable objects into a meditation on time, habit, and the quiet significance of things discarded.
