#009: Pass it on

Draw a two metre line on the ground. 

Stand at one end and position someone who was not there, or does not remember, at the other.  

Recount your memories of the pandemic.

A box reputed to contain all of an artist's greatest fears.

It is padlocked shut and bears a sign reading, "Do Not Open."

#007: Self-portrait

A mirror.

On it is written in clear, but unobtrusive, letters:

“Look between the lines, see beyond the words.  

“Look and see yourself at this exact point in time.

“Look into your eyes, look around them.  Take in your face, your mouth, your nose, your cheeks, your hair.

“This is the you you have made.


“Look beyond your skin to the experiences within.  

“Every moment you have lived has led to this person looking into this mirror.

“Think of all the people you have been, who have stood here before.  Think back to all the events and people who have brought you to now, that have made you this person.


“Look beyond yourself now and away from yourself before.

“Where would you like to go?  Think ahead and about what you might need to do to shape your ideal portrait of the future.


“Repeat, frequently or infrequently.  Reflect and return.

“Here, or at home.”

#006: Telling it like it is, or Setting the record straight

A picture of a white shape with a black outline made up of four equal sides and four right angles.  A caption reads, "Rectangle."

Open up the door and see a truth totally or largely kept from the world - it could be personal or an aspect of history or literature, or any subject, buried by those to whom it is uncomfortable.  

Continue every day until the new world is born.
