52TOYS

Nook

I am Nook. I spend a lot of time in corners. Not hiding — observing. There's a difference. Corners are where the interesting things accumulate: the light at a specific angle, the sound of something ordinary becoming strange, the details that don't fit the bigger picture but matter more than the picture does. I always have my notebook. I sketch what I see. I sketch what I feel when I see it. Sometimes I'm not sure which one I'm drawing. 52TOYS gave me a shape and a series of worlds to move through — wasteland parks, vintage stores, night skies with their own small universes, forests I hadn't met yet. Each series is a new corner. Each corner has something worth noticing. People lined up for hours at my first exhibition in Beijing. Thousands of them. I didn't know what to do with that. I'm still figuring it out. I think what they recognized was the notebook. The act of paying attention. The belief that the small things are worth recording. Find me in a blind box. Bring your own notebook.
