I Think I've Figured It Out

A PDF of all the inserted post it notes in Alice Munro's Hateship Friendship Courtship Loveship Marriage is attached to the site linked below.

I imagine (or at least hope) that my ability to both draw Times New Roman, and write stories suited to this library book piece, with improve with further iterations.

New Project: Post-it Books

I'm not sure what I'm calling this project yet. I've been provisionally going with "post-it books", the provision being that this is less a title and more the most basic unit of description I can come up with.
The project is another in the art-in-unexpected-places vein. I am taking books from the library, writing stories that are parasitic (or maybe symbiotic) to the book in question, and inserting these stories into the library book via post it notes.














The first story I've written/inserted is intertwined with Alice Munro's Hateship Friendship Courtship Loveship Marriage, in that much of the "plot" of my story revolves around the circumstances surrounding two different people reading Murno's book. Munro's short stories are largely explorations of the relationships between people, so the story I wrote for the occasion is also relationship-centric .

This project, aside from the quasi-guerrilla-art appeal, has the fun bonuses of requiring that I read lots of library books, write lots of assignment-like short stories (stories that begin with a "site" rather than a plot) and practice drawing Times New Roman.  You can find a scan of my addition to Alice Munro's book here.
