The Nammuldi Project

The Nammuldi Project arose and evolved naturally. In the beginning my best friend Mori said to me, "I get excited whenever you walk towards me holding a piece of paper, because it usually has something special written on it." Later that day I wrote "Something special" in beautiful cursive on a scrap piece of paper and left it on his laptop keyboard. I continued giving him pieces of my scrap paper art until one day he looked at me with sad eyes and said "it would break my heart if I ever had to leave them behind." I understood what he meant because we share the philosophy of travelling light in life. I went home to Australia and spent the summer filling pages and books with art and I soon began to reflect Mori's worries about accumulating large amounts of paper art that would end up packed away in boxes. Then one day I found the answer:
Leave a trail of tiny sparks in the world. So I have begun to leave pieces of paper art out in the world, where someone may stumble upon them as they go about their day. I keep a little piece here for me.
