NotebookLimitedEditionEarthday2010

Mayari’s pocket notebook that has its very own documented story.

About this work: I made this notebook on Earth Day 2010, April 22nd in the street of London’s Islington.















My statement: I want to save the world! But I can’t, I’m only human. Fact is, I’m (yet) a poor, unpopular artist without money nor power. But what I can do is to save a beverage carton at a time. Acting so I help us as well as mother earth by turning trash into treasures. Today, on Earth Day I saved a TetraPak I found on the street from going into landfill and gave it a second life as a notebook. See the video below and the twittered picture here.

Dimensions: 82 x 90 x 7 mm
Ingredients: beverage carton (found & saved), elastic ribbon (CH), lamination foil (UK), 5 staples, thread, recycled white paper (30 pages), sticky notes (20 sheets).

Designed in Switzerland, made in Islington, London
Limited Edition (1 piece in total only)
Expected lifespan: at least 3 years after first use. If treated with care, it should last for a lifetime and even longer!
After its use it could become a collectible piece of artwork.
