Laura Bushell interviews painter Phoebe Unwin about her work, including a discussion (and images) of Unwin's sketchbooks. Unwin says: "They're somewhere where I start to work out particular combinations of form, colour, mark… very much a reference tool in that it's somewhere to refer to that feels really close to first instinct. But it's a longer process until it becomes a painting, there are other things that come into play, because the paintings for instance are all different scales, whereas these books are always the same size."
