Bob Marley-Inspired Handmade Book

Canción de redención / Redemption Song

Notes: A single stiff sheet covered in textured paper and folded three times. 5 by 9-1/2 inches when closed. An edition of 200 numbered copies. Colección Andante series.

The text is Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" in English and Spanish translation. The construction, designed by Marialva Ríos, is made of paper, cloth, string mesh, and thread, with handcoloring. When folded, the cover presents Marley's face in front of a stiff cloth star that extends beyond the edges and is festooned with thread in the colors of the Ethiopian flag (red, green, and yellow). This folds down to reveal another star, the limitation number, and the title in English. This panel opens to the text as well as a paper cut-out in the shape of a marijuana leaf. The colophon is on the verso.

The imagery in this book may not be especially original, but the folding structure is one of the more complicated in the oeuvre of Ediciones Vigía.
