Literature has long been a centerpiece of Horn's work, and the work of writers such as Emily Dickinson have become the artist's source material. The “White Dickinson” series is a group of rectangular aluminum sculpture with white plastic inscriptions sourced from Emily Dickinson's published letters. The text can only be read clearly when viewed from the front, while the letters are deconstructed into their pure form when viewed from other angles.
