Mere Objects

Participatory art honoring people who have experienced sexual violence. Current exhibition: Rochester, NY, USA. New participants always welcome! Not a survivor?

Hey friends, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I was pretty burnt out for a while there, but I am beginning to feel ready to return — and unfortunately this project remains just as relevant as ever.

I’m in the process of setting some better boundaries to ensure that this work will be healthy and sustainable for me, and also deciding how I want to move forward with the project from here. I don’t anticipate massive changes — the objects will definitely remain central — but I appreciate this time to reassess & recalibrate.

Obviously it’s been a long time for you, too, and I understand that some folks may be at a very different place than when they initially followed this project. If you find yourself needing to unfollow this page or even ask that your object be retired from the project, you have my full support to do so.

I’ll follow up here once I have a clear plan forward and am ready to begin accepting new participants, and I’ll keep you posted as I gain a better sense of where Mere Objects fits into the world of 2021.

Thanks for all your patience & support. Truly. - SJ
