Existing within its own teary universe, Tears Are Everywhere offers the concision of a children’s book, the visual and tactile pleasures of a monograph, and the interpretative contemplation of abstract art, all in one hardcover volume written and illustrated by artist and author Kira Lynn Cain. Immersive and minimal at once, Tears is a textural story, an invitation to a curious world, and an art book for all ages. Cain uses distinct mark-making and poetic language to share a new concept of what tears might be. This book, while informed by philosophy and contemporary art, takes its own idiosyncratic approach to tears, proving their ubiquity and tender power.
