Free Utopian Projects!

Re-homing art supplies and art (art by me, art by others); new stuff and very old stuff; collectibles and collections; plants, non-essentials, furniture.

This is a study on value, melancholy, memories, generosity, hoarding and greed.

I believe Utopia is the symbiotic relationship between people, animals, the environment, the economy, politics, religion, philosophy.

This project asks you to consider the possibilities of a Utopian FREE economy that bypasses monetary exchange - think about the abundance of things and the ecological and economic impact of passing along instead of throwing away; receiving rather than purchasing. Consider the value of things, the value of art, art materials, objects - the value of memories, sentiment and stories.

Pass it on, pay it forward. Give free, get free. Cool right?
