Monthly Statement:
September 2005
So far, candles have been arriving at a steady rate in response to a viral email describing the project. On average, I am lighting five candles each day with the senders' intent in mind.

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.

 

Accumulate: Candle wax

Accumulator: Barbara Nasto
