Hamilton Sketchbooks Book

David Collier begins his journal when he trades in the isolated and wind-swept prairie city of Saskatoon for Hamilton. For an artist it’s a land of opportunity. And the ink in his pen doesn't freeze outside in winter any more! But Collier discovers that he has more worries. He is a father and a husband and the urban lifestyles he captures on his sketchpads make him feel more remote as an artist then he did on the prairies. The sketchbooks were supposed to document and affirm his new life! Instead their pages become a space where his anxieties wrestle with his desire for a home.
