A book of drawings from Nik Ramage (Fingers) featuring ideas for sculptures, machines and other free-range thoughts. Compiled from a collection of notebooks dating back to 2000 where the artist regularly kept regard of both original and found ideas in both journal and sketch form.
The drawings feel like peeking into someone's actual sketchbook, with that raw notebook energy from 2000 still intact. I keep coming back to the machine ideas — they're weirdly practical while being totally unbuildable, which I love.
I flipped through this before even sitting down and the notebook drawings span so many years you can watch the ideas mutate. The sculptures and machine concepts are weird in the best way, feels like peeking into someone's actual sketchbook from 2000 to now.
Twenty years of notebook ideas in one place, and the progression from early doodles to refined sculptures is genuinely fascinating to flip through. The machine concepts alone kept me turning pages for an hour straight.
