THE WINGS OF A MOTH WITHOUT THE MOTH-BIT IN BETWEEN by Kate Sweeney

210 x 290mm, 36 pages, Risograph printed, Saddle stitched, Softcover, Signed, Hand numbered, Ed. of 100, 2023

the wings of a moth without the moth-bit in between documents artist Kate Sweeney’s search for traces of the adoptive mother’s body in the WANE Library. Kate Sweeney’s new writing combines lyrical memoir and citations from artists and authors in the library, alongside transcripts of conversations to share a queer experience of parenthood. 

the wings of a moth without the moth-bit in between is a multi-faceted exploration of the function of and conditions for the collective acts of borrowing and lending. In drawing parallels between building and maintaining a queer family and a library, it contributes to contemporary discourses surrounding artist’s practice in archive and library-based contexts.
