This week I launched a new community art project ~
Well Used, Well Loved
A community art
project that explores age and beauty
Will you consider joining me in this
reflection on age and beauty?
I am seeking 8 individuals or households to "adopt" a
hand-woven linen towel to use for six months. You will be asked to record
periodic reflections and observations in a small journal that will be provided.
Each site will be invited to have a "kitchen table conversation" with
me at least once during the time period.
At the end of the six months, I will collect the used towel,
exchanging it for a new towel as a thank you for participating in the project.
The eight Well Used and Well
Loved towels will be the centerpiece for an installation grounded in
an exploration of aging and beauty. The journals (or text from them) will
also be a part of the final installation.
If you are interested I will ask you to sign a participation
agreement. You will agree to use the towel, to communicate during the project's
6 months, to write in a journal, to return the towel at the end of six months.
Please visit the project blog and my website for more info.
Thank you!
