July 1998-October 1999
Subseries Description
A sketchbook could always be found on Hall’s desk in her artist studio; within, she jotted down ideas, concepts, quotes, and other inspirations, sketched ideas for books she intended and often did create, and added entries of a more personal and narrative nature. She kept an archive of these sketchbooks, which can be dated from as early as July 1998 to as late as August 2002. These form the bulk of this subseries, and collectively they tell the story of her development as a book artist, her process, her thoughts, and her pursuits. There are also some more informal notes in the subseries and a calligraphic exercise book.
