Dis-integration

Seth Apter at Altered Page started a project, weeks or even months ago, where artists and/or like-minded folks put together an art bundle and hang it out to, yes, disintegrate.

With a packed 8th house, I love the old, the grey, the rusted and the discarded and think this is the perfect way to test my fancies.




I put the following into my bundle: art cards, heavy weight mounting board, 30-year old sheet music, Italian ledger pages from 1935, a prayer book I found on September 11, 2001, torn sheets from an Italian journal, tissue paper, faux stamps, a sheet of hand-written eco-friendly paper, a painted and gesso covered accordion weight file separator, old tree bark pieces I found years ago and a wee envelope that is now empty and when I went down cellar to get some of my oldest rope I added an old paint stick.


Late to the party, here's my effort at a potentially hazardous hanging on my porch.

It is still too icy and snow laden to reach a tree or a post in the garden but the porch is open to nature and faces North.

Follow up photographs will spring to life in May.
