Label Text:Alphabet books are typically seen as solely the purview of children’s literature. McCarney instead makes the alphabet and number sequences sculptural. One can “read” the book as a series of letters, or take it in as a whole cylindrical sculpture from which individual letters emerge from the layers of cut paper.
