"Slut, prut, finale: a Danish idiom meaning the definite end – or "That's it". Literal meaning: slut (the end), prut (fart), finale (finale). This third and final A6 origami book in the series is about mankind’s eternal desire to control nature. We plan to stop cows from farting and burping – to also lower their CO2 imprint on the planet – so we can enjoy beef and dairy, and with the help of science and technology we are getting there. The front of the book unfolded to A4, revealing the purple cow. The purple cow is a reference to Seth Godin's book: 'Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable' (2003) – that the unusual always draws more attention than the expected. The choice to use the Danish idiom and that the first word can be mistaken by the offensive English word is no coincidence, neither is the choice of animal image: cow. Cover of Slut, prut, FINALE (SPF), 2025 'Slut, prut, FINALE' can be seen as a companion piece to 'AI – Authentic Inanity' (June 2024) and 'Fishy' (October 2024), which are also A6 origami book format – unfolding to A4. All three pieces are comments on man's use of science and technology, for better or worse."--From artist's website.
