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'm also an avid collector and recently was considering stopping, but this is quite inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I am following you now I love the collections
ReplyDeletecan't wait!
ReplyDeleteVery nice stuff. I love it.
ReplyDeleteawesome! I'm very happy that I found this site!
ReplyDeleteWow. Just stumbled on your site and this blog project. Love collections; believe in their importance in creating a home that reflects our personality. Can't wait to follow this. Bravo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! Love the cards.
ReplyDeleteIt might be worth noting that the card in the lower left is not correct. You can't divide 3 (or anything else for that matter) into 0. Kinda makes it even more interesting.
ReplyDeletethese are great, what a wonderful blog concept.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog -- I love both the layout of the photos and their content.
ReplyDeleteAs a math teacher, though, I feel compelled to respond to Josh's comment. Of course you can divide nonzero numbers into zero! What you can't do is divide by zero.
0/3 is like saying a cake is divided into three pieces and you have none of them.
That problem says 3/0, not 0/3. It is absolutely incorrect.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous above, you are "absolutely incorrect" about division by zero in the image above, see:
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division
The flashcard correctly states 0/3=0...
I found a set that my wife had purchased (from EduPress) that had the error you mention...even stated that 0/0=0!!!!
cool
ReplyDeletereally cool Vintage math flashcards, that is a great job. My son is having problems with maths and I will use flashcards like those to try to help him remember the equations and mathematical concepts, thanks!

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
