Limits: Collage Sketchbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by Paul Kramer Waters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul Kramer Waters learned fairly quickly as an architect that the world of building design is littered with limits. The challenge was to craft a creative environment where limits are perceived as opportunities rather than obstacles. Again and again, the work got better as more limitations were imposed. Paul found that process creatively thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His book Limits <\/em>is an attempt to recreate that feeling with sketch collage. He’s testing the theory that constraints only sharpen the artist, even in this playful, free-flowing art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He imposes strict design limitations before uncapping a glue stick or touching scissors. After these limits are in place, he fills a sketchbook with collages that live and breathe those constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24 of his “limits” sketchbooks are shown and described in the book. The book opens with a poem by his daughter, Julia. The narratives for each limit are written by his son, Daniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
