Accordion Fold Books: book board,
tyvek, intaglio print, paper.
Ea: 4.5 x 6 inches.

I think of the accordion fold as a transitional book form because it can be read in different ways: holding a contained space,  turning images & text and as a standing sculpture with changing angles for differing views.

Blink Books are accordion fold books. They contain printed photographs that were taken with a pinhole camera made from a gourd. The poetry* was inspired by the image.

*A blind blinks a code.
Light slices across a room
where the sun stutters a broken speech.
