Well Used, Well Loved Journals

Well Used, Well Loved Journals

Well Used, Well LovedA community art project that explores age and beautyWill you consider joining me in this reflection on age and beauty?I am seeking 8 individuals or households to “adopt” a hand-woven linen towel to use for six months. You will be asked to record periodic reflections and observations in a small journal that will be provided. Each site will be invited to have a “kitchen table conversation” with me at least once during the time period.At the end of the six months, I will collect the used towel, exchanging it for a new towel as a thank you for participating in the project.The eight Well Used and Well Loved towels will be the centerpiece for an installation grounded in an exploration of aging and beauty.  The journals (or text from them) will also be a part of the final installation.If you are interested I will ask you to sign a participation agreement. You will agree to use the towel, to communicate during the project’s 6 months, to write in a journal, to return the towel at the end of six months.Please visit the project blog and my website for more info.www.wellusedwellloved.blogspot.comhttp://sarahhaskell.comPlease contact me if you are interested in participating in this project.Thank you!
