Bundle of Earth...

Back in July of 2017 a group of creatives participated in a 6 month collaboration of bundling together anything that struck their fancy and either burying it in the ground or hanging it.  I gathered paper, fabric, metal, string, leather and wood and buried it under some mulch in my front yard.  I also hung the same type of bundle.

In January 2018 I "chipped" the buried one out of the ground (it was quite cold outside).  After it thawed I began to take it apart.  The paper did not fair well, most of it fell apart. There were some interesting finds, some rust, some color (not sure where that came from), and some patterns from the wood veneer.  The one that I hung I didn't really get much of anything.  I took everything that was salvagable and decided to make a book out of it.  I would say that 95% of the book is made with the pieces from the bundle.  I do plan on burying another bundle sometime in the next week or two and opening it up later in the year.

Enjoy!
