NEW LUCK NEW YEAR
I took 5 plastic bags of rotting vegetable peelings up to the allotment for the compost heap. I put the mouldy old bags into an empty black bag and picked up litter blown over the beds by the winter winds.
At the bottom of the allotment I saw a rectangular scrap and bent to pick it up. I could not believe my eyes – it was a polaroid photo of a chest of drawers. Where had it come from and how had it blown up now?
I had gathered the first polaroid picture of furniture in February 2007 at the beginning of this project. And continued to find the rest of a small collection of 23 photos over the next few weeks.
Here was another, months later, at the beginning of 2008 and the start of Stage 2 of BREAKING GROUND. The fates are with us.
