Mira Dayal’s risograph artist book Language Object Index serves as an index for a set of steel sculptures that Dayal refers to as "language objects." After creating steel plates with plasma-cut drawings of key works in this series, Dayal scanned and reprinted the metal “pages” on a risograph machine, compiling a more materially ambiguous counterpart to the represented sculptures. Language Object Index elucidates formal relations and gestures toward narrative structures while embracing distortion and technological breakdown, processes at the root of Dayal’s artistic inquiries.
