How It Came to Be:

The first iteration of the Arroyo Field Notes was created as an evolved version of the Arroyo Monsoonal Calendar. Unlike the calendar prints, this version takes a more intimate approach to documenting the arroyos, both through its representation and how it engages the user. The journal moves away from simply depicting the arroyo conditions in section and invites the reader to actively engage with the land and the ground in order to interact with the book.

The journal is divided into seven sections, with the first six corresponding to the solar calendar and each spanning two months. As one explores the arroyos, one can categorize their entries based on these sections. The journal includes two different colored pages. These tones align with the El Niño (green) and La Niña (pink) weather cycles, allowing users to track potential patterns that may emerge over time and under specific conditions.

The journal’s structure allows the user to incorporate sketches, flora pressings, cyanotypes, and other prints of the arroyos and their surroundings—a visual expression that captures nuances that words may not fully convey. The binder clip binding allows readers to add as many pages as needed, making it very easy to adjust and reorganize.
