The Sketchbook Project 2011 Tour
Begins February 2011
Each participant, of which there are over 28 thousand, picked a theme and received a sketchbook, where he or she could fill with ideas the theme inspired. Then we all sent them back, and these thousands of sketchbooks will show in exhibitions across the United States, providing, well, providing whatever it is that art does for people.
My theme is “I’m a Scavenger.” The first half of the book is about collected objects, while the second half is a process of revisiting memories.
The sun was bright, I was swimming in the pool, and when I looked into the water, there was a fine outline around my hands. Bright blue along the right edges of my fingers, and yellow along the left. “I wish I had a camera.” Instead, I stared. I stared until the image was locked. I am a lover of tactile things. I don’t fully understand until I have tried something myself.
