Christmas Donkey 1 - in progress - 2023 12 03
Perpetual art cards - paying forward the values, beliefs and behaviours that build strength in our communities.
The card comes with five sets of stamps, inserts and fresh labels. The envelope is a re-usable mailer. The card sizes will vary - there will be card-shaped art, like this little donkey drawing, and art-shaped cards, larger pieces that can fit in a custom mailer.
Each card is an original work of art, that has a life of its own from conception to completion. This drawing is part of a set of donkey drawings inspired by family.
In this image the donkey is content, quietly grazing in a peaceful field. Behind her, is the great unknown. But she is not bothered. She is unconcerned about what she doesn't know. She trusts her family to keep her safe.
On the back of each card will be contact information. When the card is given, or received, there is an opportunity to share the circumstances of the card changing hands, leaving one home and entering another. There is an opportunity to share the celebration, or the expression of gratitude, or condolences that has instigated the need to share, to connect, to make a difference. These stories will be published on the card's website, writing our significant life events into archive of human experience at this point in time.
The card may be framed, it may live for a time in a new household. We hope to see pictures of its new setting. These will be included in the published story.
Over time, each card will develop a history, the stories of all the significant moments and events that make up our life stories.
We will write the stories and we will publish them. They are our stories and it is critically important that we share these stories with each other and the new ones coming up.
