Lisa Kokin’s Fascimile Series

At Codex, Donna Seager had an intriguing piece by Lisa Kokin called Facsimile Two. Kokin says

I began to make faux pages and page spreads using the trimmed-down zippers that I had snagged at a fabric give-away months before. The first pieces were generic book pages, small, even, single-column blocks, made of just zippers and thread, with no reference to specific texts. After several months, the work entered the realm of specificity when I decided to work from particular books and to incorporate fabric as a substrate.

Below are 2 pieces, and detail on the first. You can see more about how she made them and why here.
