Hi Alan,
I've seen the list of things lost and was moved by it's serenity. I liked
the way items of great sorrow and trivial items meet and coexist on the
same list.
Objects and ownership where disrupted back than and we seemed to notice it
more.
I'd love you to visit another project that was created around that time.
The project invite you to deconstruct and reconstruct 19th century nursery
rhymes. It is a whimsical Karaoke text machine.
