Also I like that it might just continue as a word of mouth project and that people will pass on a message to different people and that it will become whatever it wants to become, and it can either grow or disappear. I like that it will just exist as an idea. I think what I will do is at the end see how many postcards or letters there are and then ask people to send their address and then send them a postcard with a letter asking them to add something to the work and send it on to someone else who will do the same thing. I should maybe set an end-date of maybe next years book fair for the work to return.
Last year I took part in the Travelling moleskine project where artist were given a sketchbook asked to contribute to it and then to pass it on eventually filling the book up and sending it back to the the project organiser. Of course many did not make it back and got lost out there but a greater proportion of them did continue their journey. I think the success of that project was because of the book as a transportable, sharable object that does not belong to one person. Mass produced for the masses. I like that.
