After having run this blog since 2010 people occasionally ask me if I make accordions myself, and I reply that I've done some small things but never spent any serious amount of time making them.
However, I recently came across some really interesting stencil works by the Egyptian/Armenian artist Chant Avedissian (1951-2018), and the Mexican artist Felipe Ehrenberg (1943-2017) and this inspired me to experiment with stencils, spray paint and the accordion format. That was three weeks a go and I'm still going strong! It's been a really exciting and unexpected journey working with the play of color and the panoramic features of the accordion format. I've just ordered a whole bunch of new blank accordions, so it looks like I'll be continuing this experiment for some time to come...
