Tears Are Everywhere

from $25.00

By Kira Lynn Cain

Existing within its own teary universe, Tears Are Everywhere offers the concision of a children’s book, the visual and tactile pleasures of a monograph, and the interpretative contemplation of abstract art, all in one hardcover volume written and illustrated by artist and author Kira Lynn Cain. Immersive and minimal at once, Tears is a textural story, an invitation to a curious world, and an art book for all ages. Cain uses distinct mark-making and poetic language to share a new concept of what tears might be. This book, while informed by philosophy and contemporary art, takes its own idiosyncratic approach to tears, proving their ubiquity and tender power.

RIYL: Edward Gorey, Yoko Ono, crying at museums

The regular version includes one copy of the book. The deluxe version includes a copy of the book bundled with the accompanying vinyl EP of instrumental music composed and performed by Cain. It is a seven-inch blue record in a plain sleeve featuring approximately nine minutes of music. Also includes a bookmark and a sticker. This is a small run limited to 100 copies.
