The Authentic Sketchbooks: Studio Archive Edition

For thirty five years, I have filled a single personal sketchbook each year. Each volume has served as a silent witness and the primary repository of my creative DNA, an indispensable, unedited dialogue captured long before form is committed to bronze. As Henry Moore famously observed, the internal concept holds a significance that a finished monument can only reflect.

I am making these working archives accessible beyond the studio walls as a high fidelity digital monograph.

This digital edition is not an interactive portfolio or a sterile catalogue. It is a page by page, unretouched facsimile of the physical volume, scanned in ultra-high resolution to document the true life of the studio floor. You will see every charcoal smudge, graphite pressure line, workshop burn, chemical splash, and torn corner exactly as it occurred during the heat of production.

These pages have survived the quiet focus of the drawing desk and the abrasive grit, smoke and heat of the foundry floor. They document the evolution of forms that eventually became monumental public works, alongside dozens of unfulfilled spatial concepts ideas that exist purely as paper, tension, and structural logic.

Inside the Digital Edition

High-Resolution Master Scans: Captured at archival scale, preserving the paper tooth, ink bleed, and subtle pencil ghosting of the original working pages.

The Complete 2026 Archive: 40 full-bleed spatial studies, unbuilt geometric forms, and structural margin notes presented in their original chronological sequence.

Unfiltered Thought: A permanent, raw studio record showing the dead ends, violent cross-outs, and breakthrough geometries before they were frozen into metal.

Universal Screen Optimization: Formatted as an interactive, high-definition PDF designed for seamless full-spread reading across iPad, desktop, and studio displays.

To open this volume is to bypass the polished, curated surface of the gallery and step directly into the physical space where form is fought for.

Own the ideas at their most volatile, honest stage.
