Monthly Statement:
June 2006
I'd like to extend my appreciation to everyone who was willing to share their rememberances and wishes and to thank you for taking the time to post or personally deliver candles to my home. The candles in this month's photo came from a church in Scotland. As they were put in the mail just before Sept 1, I believe they will be the last candles I melt onto this alter.

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:
