Reveries : Journaling in Place
by Susan Newbold
The dictionary definition of reverie is a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts. The book is the result of careful editing of Susan Newbold’s twenty-five artist journals containing images which were an attempt to capture her reveries which she wanted to share.
The images come from international and national locales where the author has lived or traveled, and each have unique qualities. Newbold teaches a course called “The Illuminated Journal” — a workshop which combines painting, printmaking, drawing and writing and ends in a handmade journal which the students each create. The practice of journaling has been an important part of her artmaking which she is eager to share with the readers of this book.
