SKETCHBOOKS

In March 2021 I started making small sketchbooks from used paper and scrap paper, stitched together with linen thread, and carrying them in my pocket on my daily walks.

I have boxes full of them now and it’s very interesting to look back on them. so I will add updates to the top of this page.

February 2023

Here are extracts from two of the 2021 books, from walks at Tentsmuir, Craiglug and Fingask to Pitcullo and Pittormie, and over from Cupar to Ceres.

August 2021

below are most of the pages from number one. I have ten so far.

the very first one was completed all in one wet walk

through Owlet wood

and down to Tarvit Ponds

and provoked more words than drawings

it’s interesting having other words underneath

and the sections of map refer to my old homes in Norfolk, childhood and more recent.

I can be playful

or poetic

and descriptive
