Inspired by Roy Fuller’s poem of the same name, To a Notebook explores the relationship between thoughts and writing as demonstrated through an artists’ notebook. The hand becomes the symbol connecting thought with expression. Stark black and white layered stop-motion imagery is juxtaposed with a textured poetic soundtrack evoking an interior mindscape.
