Since these journals aren't about one thing specifically, I have compiled a list of themes for 'Diary items':
...collections, archives, ephemera, material, thoughts, photographs, memories, traces of process, layers, textures, the passage of time, urban decay, language, headlines, nature, transport, migration, childhood, conflict, narratives, diaries, diagrams, paths and journeys....
Since an art journal exists as a unique, temporal object, in order to preserve the work I scan the pages and make enlarged digital images of the double page spreads. This blog serves as a kind of archive of these facsimiles. I have printed the images onto aluminium for display purposes and as postcards for dissemination as mail art.
