This is not just a collection of scraps.

After half a century of collecting objects, exploring nuance, gathering impressions and energies, and searching for the secret at the heart of all things, these ‘bits not worth saving’ are now talismans. Words, numbers, insights, and art practice are woven with materiality, each informing, expanding, and enhancing the other. Everything mingles in the interstitial ether, all aspects of a grand art object continuously dispersing.

Suggestion: create a ritual centered on laying out each scrap as you contemplate the preciousness of all things. Sew a less fragile piece into the inside of a pocket or shirt as a talismanic secret reminder of the sacred in the ordinary. Or research scrap gathering related to food, quilting, rag picking, etcetera as a springboard for personal inquiry. This object is associated with the #3 creative phase and card as detailed in the Organon 9 Worlds Card Deck.

Details — Collection of small remnants gathered over a lifetime, in archival plastic sleeves and a vintage box. Individual pieces range from .25” wide — to 5.5” long.
