The more images I made, the more I distanced myself from region-specific/coastal imagery. This part was no longer important, however the personal aspect came more to the forefront.
Even though these pages look really scrappy, I've had more fun making the things that are more from a gut-feeling than when I've over thought something. I has been more about the small processes I've used, and the stream-of-consciousness thinking that occurs when I'm doing drawings.
Here are some of those pages...
I've also enjoyed creating collages from clippings of drawings I've already done. I do this a lot in my own personal sketchbooks, but it has been an apt way of creating images for this project. The final clipping collages are fragmented and hard to read, but still sort of resemble bits of the original drawing.

I suppose this relates to the whole memory/experience meaning of the pictures. It won't completely make sense to a viewer, but I understand the origins and content. Rearranging the smaller pieces into a new composition is also interesting to play around with too.
