It has arrived!



My shredded notes have arrived!

After anticipating how the notes will be delivered they come in a mysterious way. Simply in plastic bag, tied by a cheap elastic band lying within a recycled cardboard box, all lacking any form of documentation. I find myself creating stories or fantasies of how the box arrived at my home. Who delivered it? Why doesn’t it have any documentation with it? Who packed it?

I am finding this whole process too easy almost! It seems too simple to email the Bank of England then wait a couple of days and voila a box of shredded notes turns up. It seems difficult to get anything for free these days yet receiving free money seems awfully straightforward all of a sudden.

I am so intrigued by the money taking this form that I have, so far, spent a long time just looking at it. There is an endless amount of looking to partake in. I want my audience to have this experience also. A future idea is to photograph this mound in some way.
