These drawings were made to record works of art that I have found relevant to my practice. During very full art viewing trips to New York, I made them hastily while standing in front of each work.

In bringing them together in this artists book, I am curious to see the quality of the marks and the elements chosen when I am not making art but performing a task such as recording an image for later reference.

A related artists book called Explanatory Drawings: Everyday brings together drawings that occur in the course of everyday life such as explaining something to the man at the hardware store or drawing a map for a friend.
