This project began incidentally one day when Etanna's purse was stolen out of her car. Besides the hassles of losing a cell phone, wallet, and camera; the most valuable item in the bag was her notebook. It contained her thoughts, ideas, brainstorms for projects, writings, journals, doodles…months and months of creativity were in those pages.

Losing this notebook was like losing treasured photos album with irreplaceable moments captured magically in time.

After the bag was stolen, we scoured the city trashcans, hoping the person would have use only for the wallet and camera and not the notebook. We were unsuccessful in finding it and thought of it as an old friend who had lost contact.

Then, a couple of weeks later we got a phone call from a Daly City bus driver. He had found the bag and notebook next to a trash can. Inside the bag was the notebook.

It is a simple story.

But in this simple story
we see the manifestation of a mythic cycle,
a circle.

The notebook goes away.

The notebook comes back.

So we decided to explore this cycle further.

We have left this new notebook, hoping for it to be cycled around this city, from one finder to another, perhaps going further in its journey.

We have energized it, we have made our imprint on it, we have started its engines but most of it is blank, open and waiting for new contributions.

It is our hope to create a vessel for collective creativity within its pages.

Leave your mark,
donate a small part of yourself
to the pages.

Fill it.

Fill us.

Fill the space...
not only on blank pages,
but in the space beyond your skin.

Lets create together,
lets cycle our energies,
lets use this notebook as the bridge.
