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.

The Thing, No. 23: David Korty - Mr. Natural, 2014
The Thing Quarterly is a periodical in the form of an object. It's like a magazine, except that each issue is conceived of by a different contributor and then published as a useful object. David Korty (born 1971, California) makes work that explores the everyday objects, scenes, and terrain of his living environment. His distinct geometric visual language takes this quotidian subject matter and pushes it towards abstraction, flattening it into a complex depiction of commonplace geometry. Korty's paintings oscillate between these abstractions and their identifiable subjects. What results is a sophisticated dialogue between the nonobjective and the representational, a way of seeing the surrounding world and reinventing it. Korty earned his B.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design and his M.F.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
