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.
I remember when food stamps were like Monopoly money that came in little booklets. I worked in a small store in Kansas in 1989....and two families in the WHOLE area were on food stamps. It was a very strange thing indeed.
ReplyDeleteSome of these are S & H green stamps, which you got as a bonus for buying certain products. Then if you collected enough stamps you could purchase stuff out of the green stamps catalog.

My sisters and I used to fight over who got to stick the stamps in the little book.
Yes! Green stamps! My sisters and i fought over whose turn it was to redeem them!
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the S&H green stamps. My boyfriend and I used to go "Bowling for Greenstamps" every Friday night in 1976!
ReplyDeleteThese most definitely are NOT food stamps!
ReplyDeleteThey were distributed by merchants in ca. the late 1950s. Buyers would get one stamp for every X amount of dollars they spent. Once you got a book collected, they could be redeemed at the nearest TV or S&H stamp store. The problem was, most things that were really cool took LOTS of books. LOL
My Dad still has an entire drawer full of green shield stamp books (UK) - I'm not sure what he's planning to do with them as I'm pretty sure they were discontinued about 20 years ago - he must be where I get my hoarder genes from!
ReplyDeleteYes! Green stamps

Laryngeal cancer begins in the larynx or "voice box." Cancer may occur on the vocal folds themselves ("glottic" cancer), or on tissues above and below the true cords ("supraglottic" and "subglottic" cancers respectively). Laryngeal cancer is strongly associated with tobacco smoking.
