It came to pass on Sunday, February 19, 2006 that the NewYork Times published an article by Benjamin Genocchio reviewing my solo exhibition at the Jersey City Museum. So, in a strange and poignant moment, I found myself shredding and baling my own NY Times review for the accumulation project this month.

Process: I subscribe to the New York Times and read it daily. The only unusual aspect of my interactions with the Times is in what happens after it has been read. It is never thrown away - each paper is kept, in its entirety, until the end of the month when the full month's newspapers are shredded, baled, and labeled.
