During the month of March, artist in the Envision program dug into the concept of Excavations in their sketchbooks. Shards, text, objects, edges, and relics were explored through drawing, painting, and collage materials while focusing on surfaces, environments, and topographies related to archeological practices. Working with a 5" x 5" square format (both within and beyond the delineated area), layers of mixed media were integrated into these built surfaces to create opportunities for concealing and revealing hidden layers and suggesting personal discovery narratives.

The works shown here represents a selection of these sketchbook explorations.
