a note from kenturah:

while accordion press has long been in development, it makes its debut in the aftermath of the los angeles fires in january 2025. my home, along with my parents’ home, were lost in the eaton fire. this experience has prompted me to create our first official release in support of artists affected by the disaster.

as i reflect on the depth of my practice and the intentional integration of various art forms and materials, i am deeply grateful for the rich quilting legacy passed down through my mother’s artistry and the Alta/Pas Quilt Circle community. as eaton fire displaced several members from their homes, i feel it is essential to honor these women by showcasing their work and producing a limited-edition print to raise funds, ensuring they have the resources to continue their practice.
