| Artists use the sketchbook in different ways, not just as a place to work out ideas for studio work. The sketchbook was never talked about in its variety in my art education. I began to look closer at how all sorts of artists used their sketchbooks many years ago, after I started to collect found paper items into sketchbooks. I called it my ‘Stuff Diary.’ The sketchbook can be a personal space and time machine, it records memories and personal growth. It is not just for preliminary art ideas. I started to gather info to show this variety and it became the ‘Through the Sketchbook’ website. Lesa Moriarity, 2026 |
