Feels more like carving than drawing

Returned to cut-outs
Began experimenting with tipex tape and fluid but they don't work particularly well with graphite (or in the way I wanted them to) - tape doesn't stick and fluid becomes grey
Then cut saltire into the page - flags you can see through, a negative flag/negated flag - proposed art piece to fly cut-out flags in public spaces

The page is negative space that supports the subject of the text. - Think like Ed Ruscha and the tension he creates between the "background" and the overlaid text
Without the page the words fall apart - they lose their structure and intended meaning - meaning deconstructed and then can be reconstructed (sketchbook image below)

Can I present sketchbook work as resolved work?  How can I present sketchbook work for the final outcome? - A digital booklet of scanned pages - how do I do that?

Thinking about the flawed idea of a political spectrum, that it's really more like a circle - e.g. Labour and Tory bridged on one side by UKIP and the other side by Lib Dems - in Scotland are SNP linked to UKIP by Alba/Salmond supporters?

Cutting pages in half - a development process - formal and conceptual juxtapositions - making connections between ideas
