Shapes of Conscious

With this sketchbook, I’ve been challenging my creativity by starting first with a simple shape, drawn without the end goal in mind. Once the shape is drawn, I go about filling it with a character that develops a story of its own. The idea here is to get out of my own way, to let the drawing develop itself without forcing it into a desired narrative or purpose.

I worked on this sketchbook off and on for 5 months, and realized I didn’t really like anything in it. -so, I ripped the inner pages out, and replaced them with found paper, then drew all over the book for 14 hours. This is how it turned out. (It reminds me of my “pen-pal” days.)

Something long forgotten.

A tiny book, bound with love on a sunny summer afternoon three years ago. Sent back and fourth from California to Rhode Island, between my ex-boyfriend and I.

I don’t know what made me think of it today.
