I chose Rain Words for the Looking Out/Looking In exhibition because it is a literally mirrored reproduction in its entirety (and in blue) of the book Word Rain, Madeline Gins’ masterwork of experimental fiction. Rain Words is a reflection on and of that book, where the interventions act as a prism through which the original book’s contents are read and transformed. The book is a looking-glass for the reader to step through. As it can only be read by mirror, it encourages the reader to gaze upon themselves in the process of taking in the text. Edition of 50
