Description
Hack Wit is a playful and complex body of work developed between 2013 and 2015, using cliches or proverbs and watercolor. For each work, the artist made two watercolors of a different proverb, cut them apart and then combined them into one. The Canadian poet Anne Carson wrote the text Hack Gloss in response to the "Hack Wit" drawings.
ReviewsRoni Horn's work urges us to see the unfamiliar in familiar materials and phenomena.--Michael Miller "Bookforum"
