Leporello Travel Sketchbook I

Before leaving to Singapore, I made a leporello travel sketchbook with thick rough watercolor paper. I chose to do it myself to make exactly what I need for two weeks. Ten landscape panels form one extra long page, folded like accordion. The handmade leporello generates an intimate mode of reception. It is also highly functionnal. The travel sketchbook is relatively small and light to fit in my bag and in my hands without giving me cramps or any discomfort. I design my own tools like custom prosthesis to prevent muscle or joint pain in my forearms and fingers because of my regular drawing practice. I take care my body because I need it to make art. I notice that the documentation of a simple artistic trial and error process is visually satisfying.
