Todd Elkin and Arzu Mistry began making accordion books to document, reflect, plan, and think expansively about their practice as artists and teachers. The act of making these books, and the ways of structured and unstructured thinking that drive and are driven by their making, has become deeply woven, not only into their teaching and artistic practice but into the ways that they think, feel and act in the world.
At this workshop, Todd and Arzu shared their own process, and engaged students and faculty from the Art + Education Program in creating their own accordion books.
