A Common Self

Description:

‘A Common Self’ pulls ideas from my sketchbook between 2019-2020 and contrasts them with renderings from other artists.

In the middle of the pandemic, I found myself at a loss for what to work on. I would scroll through my project list and felt nothing fit the context of the situation. In response to this plight I began sending my list to other artists with the request that they respond to the idea/s that caught their eye. This book is a collection of this material, with responses from 18 artists, ranging from photo’s and drawing, to an augmented reality experience. Each contribution brought life back to my practice, and gave me a new way forward.
