The Big Project

So, now to start blogging the reason i started this blog. Underneath this text you will find a ledger with some of its graphed pages below it. In addition to collecting hundreds of cutting boards and knife blocks i have also collected scrapbooks and ledgers. Since this one has a ring binder which allows removement and replacement of its pages i thought it would be a great thing to send those pages around the country and collect responses to the ledger paper. Since i have sent them to friends, it not only a collaborative art project, but a way to keep in touch. Some participants immediately drew on their paper and sent it, others might take a year. This blog is for the electronic collection of each image as it comes back to me here in Richmond. This way instead of waiting two years to try and get a copy of the finished collection, it will be available to everyone bit by bit here at mail bonding.

I used the first two pages of the ledger to record the process of collecting particpants and recording the mailing stages. The order is according to the order i received responses back from mass emails asking for mailing addresses.


Interestingly, some of the last to be sent ledger paper were the first to respond.

and now to blog the work!
