The 10 Project: Instruction 1 for Ralph -We are a sufficient audience.


Bring out a vintage matchbox or book from a now gone restaurant, bar or club.   Consider the matchbox design, graphics, logo, text, information. 
Notice what is strange or different.  An old phone format, an old fashioned graphic, anything that strikes you. 
Write down your observations on a piece of paper. 
Open the matchbook, take out a match, strike it.
Light the paper on fire.  
Watch the paper burn.

Consider how the objects:  matchbox, matches and paper are as ephemeral as the thoughts, observations and memories they evoke.
