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.

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa...my bro Stephen said he's cooking for you tonight, and we met in FL or GA at a swimming event long ago. He shared this blog with me and i just wanted to say i LOVE it! Today is a day of considering turning over a new leaf, so your photo is quite endearing to me :) Enjoy dinner!
ReplyDeleteI've been following you for quite some time and have mentioned you in my own blog today. http://animumadvertere.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this and I really hate to see it come to an end. I am sure I could come up with 365 collections myself - I see so many of my things in your blog, if not things I collect, then things we had when I was growing up. You have inspired me to start a few imaginary collections, but they are all still in my head!
I was wondering how you plan on preserving your leaves, care to share? :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - your arrangement makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteI like your post!
