The English writer and artist Clare Johnson has an obsession that measures three inches square, usually canary yellow. “Most nights before I go to bed,” she writes, “I draw a picture on a Post-it® Note. Post-its are perhaps the epitome of an ordinary, daily effort at remembering. They are designed to help you hold on to all the various things that are slipping out of your mind, the things that you are losing each day.” Accordingly, her Post-it Note Project will feature over 1,000 drawings she’s made over the past five years. And since tonight’s artist reception coincides with the Capitol Hill Blitz Art Walk, visitors will be encouraged to draw their own Post-it creations. Your whimsey, tortured confessions, and meditations on time are welcomed. Johnson terms her own tiny sketches “an exploration both of compulsive if measured behavior and a continual reminder that the days pass with or without my acquiescence.” We know just the feeling.
