My laboratory of ideas, 2010

I thought of this Moleskine as a notebook where to collect the ideas that cross my mind when I walk through my hometown. I am used to writing down and drawing the perceptions of my daily life. It is my way of recording ideas that may turn out to be useful at a later stage for writing poetry and painting. My notebooks are like some sorts of waiting rooms for my ideas. There comes a time when I go back to them to seek inspiration for my projects.
