We’ve returned from a week-long vacation in Jekyll Island, GA - a sleepy, pristine barrier island that hasn’t been overdeveloped - yet. I took a lot of photos and tried to sketch everyday in my journal. Not necessarily to document every phase of the trip, as a source for my art, or any otherwise lofty goal.
Ultimately, I sketched to capture my impression of the moment. My memory, my recollection, which no camera can ever offer. That’s the beauty of a sketch or even a quilt that doesn’t have perfect perspective, or color, or shape. It really doesn’t matter. What is more important is what you remember, what was important enough to you to want to capture that moment in time.
I’ll be posting this week about journaling, how I use it, the different types of journals I keep, and offer some ideas for you. I’ll also be offering a podcast - yes a podcast!! - for an even greater discussion of the topic. Stay tuned!
