The Thing, No. 10: Starlee Kine - Crying Instructions, 2008
Scope and Contents
The text of the pamphlet deals with a bad movie entitiled "Garden State." The text laser etched into the wood block deals with the purchase and cutting of an onion. Kine states in the pamphlet that her object is a cutting board and recommends that the more the board is used, the less the text can be read, and if all goes as planned, "the quieter the ghosts of meals past will become." She also recommends that you first slice an onion on the board that will cause you to cry for as a mental cathartic. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
