Hi Viola!
I really enjoyed the book, I think it's a lovely piece of art by someone who obviously has a real fondness for their subject matter.
Your drawings are lovely - sparse, evocative, suggestive in that you made me stop and think - have I been in that space? How would I fill that space? So interesting to think that you might be in a place, just buying a coffee as part of a daily routine & barely thinking about it, and there is someone else in the room who is truly looking at that place, documenting it, studying it.
I really enjoyed the writing too. I was going to say you wrote anecdotes about each of the places, but I think they were more than that - they were vignettes, of moments in your life, experiences. They meant something!
I think you'd be a bit sad to see the state of Wellington hospitality currently- a lot of the places you documented have closed now (which makes your art work an archive of those places). But things are looking up a little bit, hopefully...
Thanks for sharing your work. I loved it!
