Ken Carbones work here is done in a sketchbook. It
spans out across two pages. The page on the left is filled with the hole
punched reminisces of a dollar bill. On the other side Ken has made a page
filled with memorabilia from what looks like a holiday in France. Which
includes leaflet pieces, photos, and ticket stubs.
The composition of the piece evokes the thoughts of
love and hate, this is because of the severity of what he has done to the money
where as his holiday to Paris is displayed beautifully and organizes. The
dollar bill conjures up ideas of maybe he is trying to portray “ holes in the
economy”.
The work is laid out in a sketchbook which means its
is research and ideas for a final outcome. The right hand page looks like a
collage of a trip to Paris, with a mixture of notes and found text. The colours
of the page resemble that of the French flag, which is linked with the theme
but is a juxtaposition of the opposite page. There is also a hand rendered heading,
which differs to the previous page where there is no explanation for the piece
of work. The right-hand page reminds me of a scrapbook rather than a
sketchbook.
The double page spread is so varied with two different
countries being used. These two pages are obviously a collection for research
and practice.
