Sketchbook Concertina sketchbook with text and image, describing Julie's journey through the Visual Arts: Drawing course. The book outlines the issues and challenges she faced as a student into nine themes, such as 'money' or 'college politics', with each themes having a thread-like line moving from them into a mass of messy squiggles over four pages, the nine threads all leading to the end point 'curation and set-up of show'. The book is illustrated with pictures of Julies work and her end-of-year show. It also describes Julie's art-practice, which relates to gender, cultural, and personal identity, and the construction of gender roles, and its validation through audience interaction, and her belief in art as a 'playspace' in which to take risks and experiment with notions of the self and identity.
