Sketchbook Project: Hope and Fear, 2017

Posted on March 18, 2018 by dkatiepowellart

 Last year was the first year I participated in the Sketchbook Project, the project out of Brooklyn whereby people from all over the world buy a small sketchbook, fill it,
choose to have it imaged or not, and it sits in the museum and/or travels the country!
Last year the options were Hope OR Fear, and given what is going on in the USA
I changed the rules, as I am often want to do, and went with Hope AND Fear.
I wrote everything honestly in journal style, then redacted all that
might be used against me in a totalitarian government.

Imagine my surprise when I found out they chose to feature me in
the small printed book about the project!  Yay! (Sold out!)

This year I participated in the Sketchbook Project again, but also, am participating in the Canvas Project.  My word is BEDLAM!  Anyone else participating?
