Daler Rowney
Gary Goldstein
1997
Daler Rowney refers to the name of the company that made and sold it. The pages were white, a sketchbook. The blankness of the pages, and evidently the period in my life when I made the book, left if a little bit more open in terms of seeking and experimenting with image. It reflected both doodles and found images, parts of books and magazines that I found interesting, affixed with staples. I found the puncturing of paper with small pieces of medals, staples, both necessary and fascinating. There were so many falling Idiosyncratic figures, small and insignificant that appear in nowhere spaces. The dots filled the space and in retrospect created a kind of certainty and stability.
