A schoolchild asked me last weekend how I 'get' my ideas. I have kept sketchbooks and scrapbooks since college. Some ideas and images take hold deep and fast, but others need to be recorded and digested. These books are resources, diaries and catalogues. I use ink in my sketchbooks so I can't clean up and edit too much and I tear the pictures for my scrapbooks so I can't get precious.
