Stuff Diary
|
|
The typical artist sketchbook, thinking through plans in pencil, ideas for paintings, or as drawing diary, etc. does not work for me. I tried and when I returned to it I felt pressured into a discipline rather than a place to explore. When I went to England to study in 2002, I started to collect things that were mailed to me, notes, things I found, bought, clippings from newspapers, etc. and I put them into a coil bound sketchbook. I thought these records of a year might come to an end by now, but it continues. I now have more than 12 volumes. I call it my Stuff Diary. It is a combination sketchbook, scrapbook, travel and thought journal. It is a record as well. I collect things in my pockets and bag and combine them with home items at the end of the day, and later they are layered on pages or a new book is begun. I photograph some of the pages in settings and locals where, and when they were done (over the years). These are available for sale upon request, ie. format here. L. Moriarity. 2010.
