- Summary:
-
A collaborative artist's book of pictures by Phil Day and prose poems by Cassandra Atherton, which consists of a folder that contains three sets of folded sheets loosely enclosed in coloured paper covers. The artworks are monotypes (printed by Phil Day), lithographs (printed by Peter Lancaster), and an etching/engraving (printed by Adrian Kellett), with brushed-on watercolour, as well as silkscreens printed by Simon Attwooll. A small amount of text was letterpress printed by Mountains Brown Press, but all other text is handwritten in pencil by Cassandra Atherton, except for some printed mirror image text (reversed from a hand-lettered lithographic plate). Phil Day describes the artists' collaboration as really relaxed, with the poet and the artist alternately responding to each other's work, and the poet independently selecting and purchasing textured or coloured paper from her frequent trips to Japan. Whatever she brings back, they then try to use. When they first met, Cassandra Atherton was excited by the handmade books that Phil Day was producing in small editions, and Phil was looking for a poet who was roughly the same age and who would be willing to contribute handwritten text. Their ongoing collaboration is like a shared note pad, or sketch book, which inspired the title, Sketch-Notes.-Based on a Facebook post by Phil Day, 13 March 2016.
