Description:
|
An accordion book inserted as the bellows (10 2-sided frames) of a small accordion. Artist's statement: "This book is made by opening the bellows of a no longer functional vintage accordion to create an accordion book structure. The text, a story by Mark Twain, has been printed and hand rubricated by Donna Thomas on Peter's handmade paper. The images are of accordion players that have been printed on Peter's handmade paper and hand colored by Donna Thomas. This is a unique book, similar, but different to the Real Accordion Book we made in 2001. The accordion is housed in a vintage black chipboard accordion case."
