C-prints, hand written notes
Secret Notes

Handwritten notes were left in public spaces around the city, including bookstores, newspaper stands, stairwells, car doors, window ledges and hotel rooms. With the hotel rooms, the goal was to leave the notes inside the bible drawer. By depositing personal thoughts and questions in these public places I was experimenting with strategies that create a dynamic between other people and myself. I wanted to further question the importance of those involved, knowing who is initiating communication, and asking myself how important it is to get a reply (when the address was provided). With those who I specifically sought to contact, I was searching for proof of successful communication, reciprocal feelings of having given and received. (Address no longer exists)
