Collection A Day :: The Book
ORDER YOUR SIGNED COPY TODAY!
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 love this look of small jars and their contents. I have always been a collector. Found this site yesterday after looking through my Country Living magazine.
ReplyDeleteA fun collection. Love this photograph. I too found your site via Country Living. Nice work, Lisa. As an aspiring photographer and avid collector I most admire your concept and execution. Well done. DMc
ReplyDeleteThis is really a collection of different glass jars to keep things in. Been there sister. Have been enjoying your collections all year long. Thanks for the fun.
ReplyDeleteOh fab! I love glass jars and those dice look cool; that's something I would like to collect: dice.

ReplyDeleteMy mother just gave me sold old jars....I LOVE to fill them with little doo-dads. Jars are better than tins, because you can 'see' what's in them.
ReplyDeleteLove all the collections. I sell on ebay and see many things that I have sold in the past. Never know what people are interested in collecting. After viewing your collections hoping more will be interested in buying. Thanks for an interesting blog.
ReplyDeleteI told myself I wouldn't post a comment, but...

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
