Exhibition Statement

For the past few years I’ve been making art on Post-it® notes—sometimes one each day, sometimes many. Making these notes has become a work-of-art in its own right—a durational performance where individual notes capture a moment in time and where collected notes transform that moment into a continuum. I display these notes individually and in groups. I leave them as gifts. I stick them up in washrooms and museums. I give them to people on the street and I put them in galleries. They are by their nature ephemeral. Although the ephemeral nature of the notes has been integral to this work, I decided to transform the notes into larger, more concrete forms of art; thinking of them not just as a progression in time, but in size, theme, or abstraction. Infinite regression fascinates us all, why not infinite progression?

365 Days of Post-it notes

What began as "playing around with Post-it notes" turned into what may be a life long fascination with progressions. Please follow the progressions through the site from the time continuum of Post-its ringing the gallery to the size, scale, and abstraction of the paintings.

Interactive Tables for Post-it Play

Visitors made hundreds of Post-it artworks to hang on the glass front of the gallery...or wherever took their fancy.
