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