hi — i started this series in the apartment i used to share with my brother. half of these were painted on cardboard from the moving boxes. i don't know if they are finished exactly. they are honest, and i think that is enough for the moment. if you want one, just write me. we'll figure it out. — mei

WHAT IS
HALF?

a note

Dear visitor,

HALF is a small room on the third floor of a building that used to be a button factory. We open three afternoons a week and on the third Saturday of the month, when there is something to look at.

We show people we already know — friends, friends of friends, the person who fixed our window. We don't believe a work has to be finished to be looked at, and we don't believe a price has to be a secret. Everything that can be bought has a number on it. The things that cannot are marked NFS, and we're happy to tell you why over coffee.

If any of this sounds like your kind of room, please come in. The buzzer is broken; just push the door.

— Iris & Wren
