Jill
McCarthy
My sketchbook is a personal collection of drawings, photographs
and bits and pieces that make up daily life. Treasured fragments
are concealed in its pages – a tiny silver paper decoration
from my grandmother’s wedding cake and shopping lists she
wrote as a very old lady. It is the detail of personal experience,
past events and response to place that I like to incorporate into
my work as a kind of record or memorial. |

Anne-Marie
Quinn - Artist/Educator
This
sketchbook evolved out of the need to form ideas for a commission.I
tried to capture emotions and feelings. Even though the imagery
conveys quite vast landscapes, I was concerned to create an atmosphere
of intimacy and gentleness, of sympathy and humanity. |

I
don't call them sketchbooks,I don't like the work sketch.They
are just "my books". I number them and I'm up to No
10.They are collections:-ideas, thoughts, quotes, photos, drawings,
images, newspaper cuttings,messy and very personal. |
