The idea for these figures came about when the artist Maria Walther was studying the Asian mythologies of the Yokai. These fantastic beings are said to animate hundred-year-old objects and bring them to life. Maria Walther played the accordion for 10 years and was part of an orchestra for three of those years. A few years ago, when she picked up the instrument again, which had fallen into disuse, a few memories came flooding back. She wondered what kind of creature the old squeezebox would be when it came to life. This gave rise to the idea of Sia Monica, the fantastic lady with concertina trousers.
