“ Hi Noah,
Your project has resonated with me on so many levels. I have grown up with a love of found objects, it began with saturday morning garage and yard sales with "the ladies" as a kid during the summers I spent in Camden, Maine. These are some of the oldest memories I have, and my first experiences in America before moving here years later. There's an indescribable feeling of intimacy and a sort of invisible bond created in knowing that what you hold was once used by another person.. that item, be it a scrap of paper or bag of knick-knacks carries with it a story... not just of the person who once owned it, not just of the writer or recipient, but that item in and of itself has it's own history, of it's own journey, like a coffee stain on a postcard. Suffice it to say, post-it notes like handwritten letters and postcards have meant a great deal to me. These particular handwritten notes may not always provide as much depth into a person's thoughts and character but they provide insight into those hasty moments in which all a person has time or thought to do is leave a little note. Then, they are often discarded, lost, and forgotten. The notes themselves are impermanent, yet thanks to you, some have been memorialized. A sort of physical (now made virtual) representation of how transitory life seems to be in our modern age.
I loved how you created various taxonomies for displaying the post-it notes, providing viewers with various interpretations and routes for analysis of the impact of these little connections, however brief or insignificant they may seem from a stranger and from afar. Absolutely inspiring project, I only wish I could've participated in your project and left a post-it note myself.
On a side note, this is very reminiscent of Found Magazine.
Thanks and all the best,
Belle H. ”
