Marking more than 125 years of library service to Brooklyn, Something Borrowed, Something Blue incorporates used denim and old technology donated by librarians and patrons into an illuminated and inverted hanging tree with roots at the ceiling. At night, the sculpture resembles an intricate glowing lantern. During daylight hours, the contours of the leaves form the map of Brooklyn with each leaf representing a neighborhood where Brooklyn Public Library has a branch. Inscribed in illuminated, punched-out letters on each of the leaves is the title of the most circulated book in the year that the respective branch opened. The sacred symbol of the tree of knowledge is refracted through our awareness of the shared biological world being upended, thrown into disorder, by our human activity.
