Inspired by the luminous leporellos of artist/writer/poet/essayist Etel Adnan (1925-2021), I invited eleven artists to make their own and curated the exhibition Unfolding Vision  Leporellos and Corresponding Work Vol. 1.  Although I did not put my own work in the show, I made leporellos as well, in my own studio, to better understand what the artists were up against.
Leporellos allow me to experiment with combinations of media on a smallish scale in an unrestrained and unencumbered way.  In some cases they have become a prelude to larger works.
A pdf of my current leporello inventory is available. Here is a limited selection.
