Earlier this year I signed up for the
Sketchbook Project, coordinated by Brooklyn Art Library. The book is now
completed and on its way to Brooklyn, New York. Each year there are several designated
themes; the one I eventually chose was Mysterious
Maps.
In June the Mysterious Maps sketchbooks will set off on a mobile tour to
Providence, RI (June 13) Portland ME (June 14) and Montreal QC (June 16) before
returning to Brooklyn and joining the permanent collection of Brooklyn Art
Library.
My sketchbook, The Secret Sites of the Shadow Women, comprises a series of
fantastical silhouette figures drawn in a range of artist quality black felt
pens onto pages cut from a 1982-83 Gregory’s
Melbourne Street Directory.
Some of the drawings are featured here. To
learn more about this project and for a sneak peek at the book, visit Moth Woman Press HERE.
