Sanded Edition
Jacob Kassay's *Sanded Edition* (2013) is a limited-edition work, existing in an edition of 10 plus 2 artist's proofs, each signed and dated in pencil by the artist. The work is housed in an original white, fabric-covered clamshell box, lending the piece an air of refined collectibility and careful presentation. Kassay's practice, known for its exploration of surface and materiality, is reflected in the deliberate attention to the object's physical form and archival containment.
