As I work one train of thought informs the next, and my actions tend to propagate. In this instance, drawings for sculpture become fodder for collage series I'm referring to as 'cut & paste drawings'. I keep a small notebook to collect ideas (I love Field Notes!) but also keep a loose-leaf sketchbook which entails a pile of random papers pulled from the mail and old books. I prefer to draw on paper with less than perfect edges and maybe a wrinkle or two. This makes the empty page more inviting and gives the sketch character before a mark is made. I photograph work at various stages in the process, not only so I can share with you but also as a point of reference for myself. It's an invaluable tool to be able to look back from a finished work and see its evolution.
