Dear Artist, We Regret To Tell You
Dear Artist, We Regret to Tell you is a book that celebrated rejection and
failure as we have all lived through it. I collected 13 [lucky] rejection
emails from my inbox each laser etched individually on a color swatch. The
leaser burns off the first layer of the paper, revealing the white under
the color. I used Bher color swatches, first because they are free and easy
to get, and the secondly because they hold so much potential in them – they
are titled in such a way that makes you smile and hope that your life, or
at least your room, could be as good as this paint chip claims. In the end,
rejection letter have a tendency to be generic, one sided and repetitive,
no rejection letter is special which stands in contrast to these color
swatches. The fan format allows the viewer to look at the letter as a group
or as an individual as there is no real start or end to this publication.
