Sketchbook No2
Gregor Lersch. While the first sketchbook drew from the book Sources of Creativity and tried to illustrate the various starting points for floral inspiration, this sketchbook is concerned with two aspects of learning in particular that are contained as key concerns in the individual sketched workpieces. The emphasis here is especially on artistic and technical aspects but also the criteria for design methods. The reader can always follow the intentions and make them relevent to his own work. The sketches are organized according to the uses of the pieces such as space defining pieces, floating pieces, hanging pieces and horizontal pieces, inspirations for gifts and themes such as bound pieces in the form of bouquets and free standing arrangements. Gregor Lersch introduces a new dimension of pieces known as "communicative pieces," that inspire communication and open up space for discussion. Paperback. 100 pages. Black and white sketches.
