The Sketch Book Project 2012

The project began in 2011. The Art Co-op in NY had a call for artists to fill a 5 X 7 notebook about 30 pages (if you count both sides of each page) and mail back to them in 2012. They digitize them and then send them touring around the country. Book Art show attendees are issued a library card which is scanned with each book they look at so that the artist can see who and how often their book is looked at. It struck me as a really cool idea so I signed up. I saw the project as a way for me to expand my horizons. Since I have been sculpting for years I have gotten away from the 2D arts. I hoped that I could still inspire through a medium so beyond my comfort zone. For several months I thought about my book and worked on the cover sporadically. Beyond that I was having a bit of artist's block.
