SKETCH
Humans have been sketching on surfaces since 30,000 B.C.E. Cave walls in France and Spain attest to our early need to record our daily lives.
Ever since, humans have been sketching their ideas and musings, their observations and memories, their catalogs and diaries and precursors to greater works. Cave walls gave way to papyrus gave way to scrolls gave way to—sketchbooks. One can look at the sketchbooks of artists like da Vinci and Delacroix, Van Gogh, Kahlo, and O’Keefe, but contemporary sketchbooks continue to stretch the bounds of the imagination.
We’re giving you a glimpse into our sketchbooks, joining the canon of artists who have recorded both their lived lives and their imagined lives, their realities and their fantasies, the things that exist and the things they will into existence. We used our sketchbooks to design photo shoots for our project but also to explore our own identity journeys.
