Sticky Notes Sketches is now part of The Provocation Collection by Sheryda Warrener, a series of prompts inviting participation.
Description via The Provocation Collection:
I first tasked my friends to each draw a horse on an individual 3 x 3 inch sticky note. Eyes closed, we stuck our sketches to the closet door in no particular order. Then as a group we observed the collection. Some insights were immediate and some appeared the longer we stared. All horses but one were drawn facing left. All were full-bodied except one, a horse head. Curiosity around the collective imaginary of the horse generated discussion.
I prompted this exercise again in a different context with more people when I attended Cornell University’s Image Text Workshop as an artist-in-residence in 2023. This time I invited people to draw a bridge. A wide range of interpretations appeared. Simple curved lines. Triangular bridges. Bricked bridges. Bridges across bodies of water. I found myself drawn to grouping types and finding order within the larger collection.
The simple sticky note is ideal as material because it is accessible, uniform, and portable. Its disposable, everyday use also invites quick bursts of creativity without intimidation.
