Wow I LOVE what you are doing with your journals. I’ve been writing maybe 1500 words every morning in my own journal for maybe 30 years. I often wonder why. Even I can’t stand to read them. Maybe I can think of my own creative way to put them to use. Maybe I have enough to make a fort!
Thank you Anne! I couldn't stand to read much of my writing when I went through my journals, either... though there were a few gems, and a few entire journals I decided to keep. I think it was very necessary work at the time of writing, though... for me at least. I think I wasn't only getting stuff off your chest, which is useful in itself. I was also processing things, and getting to know myself in a way. Learning what I actually thought and felt. I've always said journals saved my ass... I really believe they did.
Again, SO excited for this show, BA. I’m enchanted too - I definitely think you should leave it up forever. And the poetry part - thinking about the journal I shard I picked up and read when I was over the other day that fully cracked me up. That could be endless fun. JUST LIKE YOU!!
I was actually going to say that, then thot ‘how totally un arty of me - don’t rain on BA’s creative process’. But ya. It would be disgusting. All raining down off of it when the wind breezed through

OOOPS... getting stuff off *my* chest, not *your* chest 😅

Thanks friend. One thing that would definitely deter me from leaving up all those hanging bits of paper is... imagine the DUSTING

Hahaha—I always think that when I see intricately designed things: "Impossible to clean... forget it"
