is interested in publishing as a creative practice with the focus of communicating ideas through various formats. We live in a culture that makes us miss the value of holding things in our hands. We have forgotten the value in seeing and feeling something in its physical form. Instead of a photocopied zine, we have tumblr. Instead of a flea market, we have ebay. Authenticity has been homogenized i
n our culture. In the digital world, we don’t even call people “people”, we call them users. That’s weird. I think it’s pretty sick. Touch screens remove us from texture and keyboards create sloppy handwriting. In a way we are more invested in ephemeral devices and digital platforms than we are in physical human relationships. A book can be held, it can be smelled, the paper can be felt, and no matter how fast you flip through the pages, there is always something new to see. My goal isn’t to change the world, or put a book in the hand of every smartphone user. The accessibility we write about isn’t about getting more people to pick up my products. It’s about to the accessibility of our feelings and thoughts.
