Situated between embryonic ideas and 'finished' work are thought-image drawings, the tangible evidence of the exploratory thinking of artists. Often found in sketchbooks, these drawings are ?becoming-art?, precursors to the work exhibited or performed in galleries and public places. Thought- image drawings are private drawings that reveal the uncensored hand at play, and hide in the shadows of public discourse. They are too easily ignored or forgotten, and if they are kept, they are relegated to archives where they remain, under-utilised. In this study, I explore and establish sketchbooks as dynamic, dual sites of discovery in which artists encode a plethora of ideas for themselves and for others, as long as they are saved and shown at some future time.
