Monthly Statement:
May 2006
A friend's husband suggested painting watercolors (my usual medium) of the object. Initially, I uttered some sarcastic response. But turned out it was a great
suggestion. Turns out painting white wax is a lot of fun.

Process: Over the course of a year I will be burning candles and permitting the wax to accumulate on a makeshift altar. The candles are burned in remembrance of someone or with the intent of a prosperous wish for oneself, others, or the world. The public is invited (through viral email, post cards and internet postings) to contribute candles with a wish or remembrance attached. In addition to accumulating the wax as I burn the candles, I will also be documenting what compelled people to contribute to the project.

If you want to participate in this project, send a white votive or tea lite to:
