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. (see theoganzstudio.com) 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.
