Project #2: Decay

Well, here we are.  It's time to start another Art With Strangers project.  I just had my wife reach into the collection of words, and she pulled out the word, "decay".   Here is the dictionary.com definition for the word:

de-cay

verb (used without object)

1.

to become decomposed; rot: vegetation that was decaying.

2.

to decline in excellence, prosperity, health, etc.; deteriorate.

3.

Physics . (of a radioactive nucleus) to change spontaneously into one or more different nuclei in a process in which atomic particles, as alpha particles, are emitted from the nucleus, electrons are captured or lost, or fission takes place.

verb (used with object)

4.

to cause to decay or decompose; rot: The dampness of the climate decayed the books.

  

The deadline for project two will be Monday, July 2 at 11:59pm.  I have decided to keep this on a two week rotation, just to ensure that people don't feel rushed.  I will also consider posting late submissions for any of the projects if they are not turned in on time.  

Projects can be created in any media and digital copies of your work can be sent to artwithstrangers at gmail dot com.  Please keep the file sizes reasonable to ease in emailing and posting.  Feel free to include the media that you used, a title for your piece or any other info you would like relayed through the blog.

 

I have also determined to open these projects to writers too.  Smaller, scanned, hand written pieces work best for display on the blog, but I'd also be willing to display up to one typed page.  If your writings are more in depth, post them to a blog, and I will include a link with your name and blog site.

Again, the more you all help pass the word, the bigger and better this will become.  I have benefited greatly from this type of creative exercise, and I think others can too.  Help spread the word.

Thanks again for reading,
