Sketchbook Pages and Paige
Pretty much wherever I go I have something to write in.
Last weekend in Michigan I had my Moleskin Travel Journal with me.
My friend Paige Orloff from “The Sister Project” www.paigeorloff.com asked this morning how we collect images and ideas. Here is how I do is these days.
I have stacks of small sketchbooks that I have carried in my purse for years. They started with little lined notebooks, switched over to plain small drawing pads for my kids to doodle in during church or for me to quickly sketch something that caught my eye and now- I have a Travel Sketchbook, a pad in my purse for us all to use and a pile of other artist journals for various reasons.
I am a different sort of documentary maker.
“Like a beachcomber, a collector, or a scavenger wandering among ruins, the assembler discovers order as well as materials by accident.”
this is from the book Assemblage Wm. Chapin Seitz published in 1961

Hi Darlin! Hope you are having fun with your construction! I am going to be home tomorrow, preparing to leave at 1 for vacation. I am set up to have some art time before I go. And hey, Valentines are art? Right? Love and gluey hugs, S

Beautiful sketch book pages Suzela.
What do I plan to do with my one wild & precious life? ” Inhale culture and the world around me- exhale art work copiously!”
