Vince Koloski ~California

  
   
Vince Koloski: "Making books which use light to create the images and text is a perfect marriage of the symbolic and the practical aspects of light. Light as a symbol of knowledge illuminating the symbols which transfer and preserve knowledge seems a uniquely proper melding of technique and meaning. The presence defined by a book-like object in which the words and images seem to float in space between the covers is one which seems to appeal to human perception in a way which bypasses the rational entirely. This is ironic given that the book is the human invention most responsible for creating the information-based civilization we live in today."
   

Moon Pops & Haiku
By Jack Kerouac
San Francisco, California: Vince Koloski, 2007. Edition of 8.

5.5 x 6 x 6.25" closed, 5.5 x 14 x 9" open; 8 pages. Materials: laser-etched acrylic sheets, LEDs, transformer. Covers: PVC covered in Momigami Paper with cutouts of the phases of the moon.

Vince Koloski: "The eight haiku in the book are all by Jack Kerouac. Kerouac called his haiku efforts 'pops' and they did not always follow strict haiku form. I intended to choose poems concerned with travelling but discovered, after I had chosen them, that all contained imagery of the moon. Hence the title Moon Pops."
