Background
The Flagbook is a kinetic concertina* structure invented by Hedi Kyle. The first slide shown here is one of hers, made from mica! Other artists featured are Sarah Matthews, Susan King, Dea Fischer, and Karen Hanmer. Flag books lend themselves to many variations. Try cutting out portions of the spine or attaching flags to both front and back of the accordion, or experimenting with other alterations. Concertina* The concertina book structure utilizes a narrow folded accordion spine that has flags, cutouts, or signatures attached to either the valley or mountain folds using adhesive or stitching.
