Taking Advice
Sketchbook Project 2016
For the 2016 submission, I wanted to create a visual object that could function as a book but also as a sculpture. The process began by deconstructing the sketchbook and reimagining its structure as something other than a traditional book format. The accordion construction still offers the viewer a chance to flip the pages but also lends itself to a bigger picture, a full length vision of all the pages working in tandem on front and back simultaneously.

The Importance of Welding on Parts
Sketchbook Project 2015
This sketchbook continues a dialogue with materials and assembling materials to create images that suggest a particular narrative. Dress pattern paper figures prominently, recurring as a strand or dialect spoken in my visual investigations. “Parts of a whole” connected to my working process and motivated the responses found within the sketchbook. Making books completes a desire to communicate on an intimate level with a viewer and hopefully begins a dialogue beyond the front and back covers.

Overcast Edge
Sketchbook Project 2014
In my second year participating in the Skectchbook Project, I took a thematic approach to explore bookmaking, assemblage, and narrative cataloging through sketchbook meditation on the concept of California. Using these techniques allowed meaning to stem from a variety of locations, redirecting their original intent toward a new voice, a suggested narrative, a pause in action, a moment that offers a trace of becoming.

Piece
Sketchbook Project 2013
For my first entry into the Sketchbook Project, my approach was a narrative one, to tell a story about a found puzzle piece and to engage the viewer toward believing in and participating with a story. The experience was fulfilling and rewarding as it tapped into my curiosity.
