| A really fascinating 80 page double-sided accordion that charts the progress of two people through various immigrant detention centers in the Seattle area. One is a man and the other is a women, and their stories are illustrated on either side of this over 25' long accordion. Included with the publication are two oversize drawings that include both people in conversation with their peers. This accordion is an eloquent and unique use of this format to foreground the pressing social & political issues associated with immigration, the detention of immigrants and our larger national immigration policy. 80 pages, 5.5" (h) x 8" (w), open 26' 8". |

| Painter of the small moment, the same urban view seen over and over again, often through windows and rain. Simon Cutts calls him a "garret-artist" and I would agree, adding that he's served this role with distinction out there in Acton, West London for a long time now! 5 pages, 4.5" (h) x 3.75" (w), open 1ft 6.75". |
 |
| Musings on the domestic artifacts that belonged to the artist and how little value was attached to them by the market place, despite the artists' "All Sculpture is Furniture," call. This accordion should be seen in combination with Coracle's "After Brancusi," accordion book (2010) see below. 5 pages, 4.5" (h) x 3.75" (w) open 1ft 6.75". |

| This book is an example of a "diamond fold" accordion, and here Lopes has incorporated 96 triangular pieces of flags from different countries who were competing in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. His hope for 'interaction' and maybe the disappearance of flags altogether is well taken. Each page 4" (h) x 4" (w), open 3ft 3". |
