With this blog, I plan to document the process with regular updates and photos as I create and destroy an art journal.<br /><br />Have you heard of <a href="http://www.wreckthisjournal.com/">Wreck This Journal</a>? After buying copies of the book for my sister and my friend, I've decided to do something similar.<br /><br />I am creating an art journal with the sole purpose of burning it when finished and composting the ashes.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />xx<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6671907791873672994-635801133468302738?l=burnthisjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10119907135425455710noreply@blogger.com0
