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.
