EASTER ISLAND PROJECT: CONTRIBUTE A SEED.
Announcing the inception of
The Easter Island Project
a creation of Tiffany Lee Brown and you,
a community of friends, artists, & supporters.
I would be honoured if you would contribute a seed to this collective creation.
The Easter Island Project explores the ideas of creation and renewal. Why do we make art? Why do we make babies? How do we experience the urge for new beginnings in our lives? The project arises from the grief, ambivalence, and joys of a childless and childfree woman living in a family-focused, pro-natalist culture, and expands into the realm of creativity in general.
EASTER ISLAND RITUAL
After the seeds gestate, I will perform
a ritual on Easter Island in the South Pacific, in August, 2009, followed by a performance in Portland with music collaborator
Eric Hausmann. Gatherings, performances, rituals, and online
participatory works will occur during the
gestation period. Please join us.
TO PARTICIPATE:
If you'd like to create a small, original contribution---whether or not you are an artist---it will seed a community creation in the form of writing, art, music, performance, and ritual. Please email for details about how you can participate.

WHAT DO THESE "SEEDS"
LOOK LIKE?
Each seed is a meditation on creation and new beginnings.
The first seed was sown March 30 in
New York City, and took the form of a bird
representing new beginnings and travel,
painted by tattoo artist PJ Blanchard
and then tattooed on my skin.
Another seed consisted of three small pink beads
and a slip of paper from a fortune cookie.
Someone at the last ritual contributed
a found sculpture made from the eggshell of
a recently-hatched bald eagle, together with
a feather.
Your seed might be a snippet of original
music, a clip of video, a slip of paper containing a few short words, a miniature bit of artwork, a tiny object of significance to you, or an action
documented however you like.
Email for details about what size the seed
can take, and how to get it to the artist, a.k.a.
me.
