Notional Field Notes by Katie Holten

Published jointly between Coracle Press and the Butler Gallery in Kilkenny Ireland, Notional looks and reads like Katie Holten’s sketchbook.

Printed in blue ink on thick gray pages, the notes, drawings, diagrams, instructions, lists, occasional poems, definitions, and musings are accompanied by yellow post-it notes pasted right onto the page. The Butler Gallery described her work as "that of both dreamer and doer. Her proliferating drawings, which oscillate between crudeness and delicacy, the slapdash and the finely honed, resemble quasi-scientific schemata.
