Now Not Now

Judith Margolis

2012

Store bought sketch journal, with paint, oil crayon, collage, pencil ink, 2012-2023. Originally used as a journal and personal sketchbook, I then returned to it and covered over the diary entries and drawings to form a stream of consciousness narrative, with each two-page spread offering a glimpse into a complex other world.
