SKETCHBOOKS 2019 2020

An important part of my practice are the work I make in sketchbooks. I keep more than one book going all the time, often the work will interchange between books and themes emerge across different books. I often note take in the backs, research, talks I attend or bits of conversations. All of these books are included as they form a detailed insight into my practice whilst studying on the Post Graduate degree. These are all from the first year, October 2019-May 2020.

Sketchbooks 11-14 These conceptual works were made on the 13th January, using a system of drawing intuitively a repeated graphic symbol. The idea develops over the course of the making. I had used this drawing as a basis for a painting. Books 11-12 are read left to right, I felt by the end of book 11 that the action needed to start at the back of the book. Books 13-14 read right to left.

Date: 13th January 2020 Size: A6 materials, black wax, yellow masking tape, additional paper.
