Jen Tong, Bloom, screenprint, 2016 [ed. 125]

This beautiful accordion is made up of two double-sided silkscreen prints that are joined in the middle of one of the pair. The combination of the two accordions creates three different viewing options, two of which reveal the central figure of the young girl in assorted locations within her plant world. The small size, and the otherworldly feeling that Tong creates with her sensitive illustrations all mesh perfectly in this palm-sized accordion.
