Notebook for a Bestiary, 2010

I have used my Moleskine notebook to map out some initial ideas for a Bestiary that I am making. The idea behind the Bestiary is to create modern-day mythical creatures that attempt to fulfil some of the functions of Medieval Bestiaries. In the notebook, I have written down my ideas for some of the creatures. Each creature is noted with a different kind of pen. In doing so, I have tried to work out a specific visual style for each one. These rough experiments correspond to what I feel might be appropriate for the final presentation of the piece.

Ruth Sacks moves in the flow of events, extracts things, processes, details, exhibiting them just enough to render a narrative insight visible. So we find ourselves in front of these works, immersed in a to-and-fro between past and present, seeking to understand the change of meanings in time and the way in which these meanings make it possible to tell new stories.
