The Hamilton sketch book

by David Collier

"Collier ... trades in the isolated and wind-swept prairie city of Saskatoon for Hamilton. . . He is a father and a husband and the urban lifestyles he captures on his sketchpads make him feel more remote as an artist then he did on the prairies. The sketchbooks were supposed to document and affirm his new life! Instead their pages become a space where his anxieties wrestle with his desire for a home."
