Reconciling the immensity of the world with the intimacy of personal experience.

World Gone Crazy

Story highlights from today's news headlines:

  • Suicide bomb in northwestern Pakistan kills 25- Christian Science Monitor
  • 21 killed in suicide attack on African Union base in Somalia- CNN International
  • Iranian President once again claims Holocaust a myth- Voice of America
Sometimes (frequently) reading the news makes me very sad.

Handmaid (One Year Project)

RULES: 

1.     I will make one handkerchief, everyday, for one year.

2.     I will begin on the Autumn Equinox, September 22, 2008 and end on September 21, 2009.

3.     I will embroider two motifs on each handkerchief:

a.     A "monogram" mined from news sources, advertisements, internet, or other daily encounters

b.     Text or image relevant to each particular day.

4.     The deadline to complete this daily task is midnight. 

5.     Unfinished handkerchiefs will remain unfinished.
