What it's all about.

So what is all this about? With this blog, I plan to document the process with regular updates and photos as I create and destroy an art journal.

Have you heard of Wreck This Journal? After buying copies of the book for my sister and my friend, I've decided to do something similar.

I am creating an art journal with the sole purpose of burning it when finished and composting the ashes.

It's a celebration of the transience of life, an experiment to prove to myself that art can be created through the destruction and death of an object, that art is a creative process and not a final outcome.

Yes, I am going to set fire to a journal I will grow to love, and this absolutely terrifies me. Which is why I'm doing it.
