This alteration is a meditation on ownership and transmission; it is the re-appropriation of the Kindle electronic version and its return to the roots of bookmaking in the form of a handmade book.
An endless dance of a common tale that became common property and used by authors and illustrators alike to make a living. Once a rhyme that you could say aloud for free now exists on Amazon in an endlessly repeatable electronic format that must be purchased for $4.99. In a fundamental way, the means of distribution of knowledge and opinion via the written word has aspects of power that define access and control.
Starting with images scanned directly from the kindle, they are pigment printed on Arches Text paper, the cover embossed, tooled and gold leafed to bring out the keypad details.
