COLLAGE

During Covid I chose to participate in this big project at Brooklyn Museum and library in New York acquiring a pre-formatted very small sketchbook to fill for the Sketchbook Library there. Sadly I never (still haven’t) finished it! Even more sadly the whole library was dismantled last year and everybody had their book returned to them. I have carried on adding to it and finished, as it happened, on the the exact day of 5 year anniversary of lockdown …2020 - 23/03/2025
