A finished artwork shows one point in a much longer process. Before it exists, there are choices, abandoned directions, experiments, fragments and discoveries.
This journal will preserve some of those moments rather than allowing them to disappear behind the finished work.

Reflections on the relationship between photography and painting.
Notes on visual memory, atmosphere and the experience of place.
How context, light and memory change the emotional weight of colour.

Agukleme.com is being built as a living artistic archive. New journal entries will appear alongside new artworks, photographs and projects.
The journal will develop gradually, without forcing publication simply for the sake of frequency. New entries will appear when there is something worth sharing.
