Through the Sketchbook

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.

The sketchbook has 15 graphite drawings by Savage, 13 poems by Wyle, and 1 poem by Emily Dickinson, on 37 leaves of cream laid paper, bound in cardboard covers faced with decorated japan paper (NGC. description).
