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.
