KERN, Josh - Love Me

"Right after my first book was published, I started to make a ton of new book dummies. I can’t even tell why I was so obsessed with creating something new, but somehow it was the only thing I cared about. 

By doing all these book attempts I realized that I‘m mostly interested in the feeling that the actual act of creating provoked.
I mean, yeah, maybe the final piece looks interesting, but what about the excitement that artist felt when he first thought about his new idea, or the chaos in his head, the self-doubt, the ecstasy and fulfillment.
That was what I was actually looking for and led to this series of notebook scans." (© Josh KERN, 2020)
