This is a blog documenting a project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. On each of those 365 days, I will photograph or draw (and occasionally paint) one collection. Most of the collections are real and exist in my home or studio; those I will photograph. Some are imagined; those I will draw or (occasionally) paint.
Since I was a young girl, I have been obsessed both with collecting and with arranging, organizing and displaying my collections. This is my attempt to document my collections, both the real and the imagined. Some of my collections are so large that I will need to photograph them separately over several days. I will likely not attempt to photograph collections in which the individual pieces are large in size or awkward in shape (i.e. my art collection or vintage enamel dishware collection). The only rule is that I must photograph or draw a whole or part of a collection each day for 365 days and post the result here on this blog.
The practice of collecting and documenting collections is as old as the hills. I want onlookers here to know that I do not profess to be doing anything new or unique or ingenious. I am embarking on this project because I love my collections, and I want to document them in a way that makes sense to me, and share them with whoever might be interested in looking at them.
This blog is open for comments. I encourage you to share your thoughts about what memories the photographs and drawings of my collections spark for you and what, if any, sense of nostalgia or repulsion they make you feel.

For those of you who have stumbled here and don’t already know me, my name is Lisa Congdon. I am an artist and illustrator, and I live in the Mission District of San Francisco with my partner Clay Lauren Walsh and our Chihuahua Wilfredo and two cats, Barry and Margaret. If you are interested, you can see the kind of artwork I make on my website or on the website of my illustration agent, Lilla Rogers. If you would like to see what my home looks like (as it contains many of my collections) you can see a house tour here. You can view my studio (also a repository) here.

Enjoy.
honestly, my favorite so far :)

ReplyDeleteladle!
ReplyDeleteOh, amazing! One of my favorites... My mum has the red one!
ReplyDeletei wish they still made them this pretty. i second kristina on these being turkish-coffee pots. (writing in from croatia, part of former yugoslavia.)
ReplyDeleteHave always admired these, also, form, shape and color. They remind me of the tiny primary colored oil cans, of which I have a herd.
ReplyDeleteYes Kristina is right! They are for making Turkish coffee and versions are found all across the middle east too. In Turkey at least, they are called 'cezve'(the 'c' is pronounced like the 'j' in 'jam'.)
ReplyDeleteSo there you have it: an enamel cezve collection!
honestly, my favorite so far :)
