The Sketchbook Project
over the winter break I had a chance to stumble over the Art House Coop's (Atlanta) website. They were getting started with a little project called the Sketchbook Project. I thought what the hell - let's see what happens. Long story short I wasn't interested in submitting a proper sketchbook so I made something more akin to a book as art. Using my approach to paperworks as a starting point.

What I ended up with was a project where I scanned a bunch of paint samples and built a continuous artwork that accordions open. I'm actually really happy about the piece and along with my friend Tony Eckersley, we made a quick video. (above)
The Sketchbook Project is all over the eastern US for the next year - check out the Art House website for details.

Matthew,
This is a wonderful piece. Rich antecedents such as Japanese sketchbooks and dare I say Ed Ruscha's photo books but synthesized into a piece that is all your own. Congrats!

Thanks - I'm really pleased how the whole thing came together.
Matt
