With an old sketchbook, Jeremy Collins beautifully recorded his travels to Patagonia. He created a video that is not only inspirational but, with the music of Sigur Ros, becomes a powerful piece that reflects his spiritual and adverturous nature.

Every Day I didn’t climb in patagonia, I was out in the wind drawing or painting…
The sketchbook was made from a 1935 childrens’ book I found at a garage sale before I left.
Sitting and drawing in the wind and light rain didn’t make a whole lot of sense at the time, but when I try to recreate the experience– drawing similar images here in the studio, it’s not the same. My linework may be better do to a controlled situation; my reference may be more constant- using a photo instead of evolving, rolling clouds and shadows, but the onsite reality of drawing in the chaotic environment is what connects me to the moment. . . .
