I've done quite a few accordion-folded
books in the past and decided to post some of them
here, perhaps as slide-shows. Here's
one called Therefore
I Am , black ink in
a blank Chinese sketchbook similar to those
which feature in the Open Books Exhibition. This
one is 7 x 4.5 inches, drawn horizontally
on one side of the twenty-three folds. I started
it at least twenty years ago but
finished it only last January.
My idea was to represent two different
ways of thinking: rightbrain/leftbrain/yin/yang/male/female/etc. tumbling down the length of the book in parallel but
different styles and ending up together at the bottom.
I did the slideshow and soundtrack today but it's only
a rough experiment so excuse my poor elocution. It's at this link and also on MORE .

Really like the video. Great choice of music too. Do you know the film Herdsmen of the Sun by Werner Herzog? It gets an outing there, too.

Hi Dominic, many thanks. I too am a Herzog fan but I didn't know about this film. I've just now followed your link and seen/heard the stunning beginning...amazing! Will go back later for the whole thing.
