Sketchbook 2001-2004   In the spring of 2001 I had a residency at Delfina Studios in London, the room so small I only used it as an office. One day I received a phone call from Polly Staple: 'Mark Leckey and I are doing a fanzine called Saturday' and we want you to make a drawing for it!". I grabbed a Sharpie and an 8x10" sheet of copypaper, office materials that I always had lying around my desk for taking notes and made my first conscious Sharpie drawing while we were on the phone. Polly was a dynamic and emerging curator at that point, so I created the 'brief history of female curator's hairdo's' inspired by and for her.   A brief history of female curator hairdos   Death Notices   This Season's Debutantes   Evolution   Hard-to-access Artist's studios   Mother!   Paperclips   Perfect   Piotr   Love poems   My Apologies   Vegetation   English Wildlife   Tropical Flowers   Instructions     MORE Drawings: White House, 2008 Newsroom: 1986-2000, 2007 Rose Sisters, 2007 Gentlemen, 2007 Mandalas, 2007 Mediterranean, 2007 Switzerland and Other Islands, 2006 The Church of Sharpie, 2005 Airplanes, 2005 Tropical Flowers, 2005 A Voyage Towards South Pole, 2005 Some really BIG maps, 2004 The World from Above, 2004 Fabergé Eggs, 2004   texts on Drawings: De Dominicis, Serena, Aleksandra Mir.
