the Silence project: May 2010

Let's say you woke up tomorrow and decided to stop talking...

How do you think this would effect your life? Would it be a positive or negative influence on your existence? How long would it be before you had to start speaking again?

I'm interested to know.

My name is Shayne Brandel, and I'm an artist living in Nelson B.C. Canada. On March 6th 2010 I stopped talking. I do not know how long my silence will last.

To archive the experience, I am making one small work of art each day. The pieces will be cataloged on this blog.

Welcome to the Silence Project.

Posts surrounded by ** were days without writing or typing of any kind.
