Original book title: Is It Legal?
I have been folding, rolling and altering books since I found a free supply from the Brighton City College library when doing my foundation course.

When I contacted Regenerator II there were only two books left. I chose the thin one. The book Is It Legal is about food labelling in the 1970's. I pictured a cornucopia of foods and labels bursting from it but it was so thin!

After some research on food labels and legal terms I found an image of a legal brief tied in pink tape. This was much more suitable I thought.

After some practice models I cut and bound each page in legal tape, representing types of food legislation. I finished by binding the whole in pink tape as food labelling is bound up with more and more legislation.
