Text:
The hide itself came from a flea market sale at Tarri
General Store. I bought it last summer - looking at it
on occasion i could think of nothing to do with it. One
day in the bathroom reading at random: in a book loaned
to me on Nietzchi: - whom i had never read. A line or
two he had written caused me to pause and say 'thank
you' to the person who loaned me the book. When i said
the words thank you i saw them cut into the hide - an
hour or two later the project had begun.
As the project began to take shape i decided to determine
what the begining letters of thank you should stand for.
Then changed my mind and selected only 4 of the letters
to stand for various things the T.H.A.K. letters i
decided would seperatley be cut into Fake felt hides and
that friends and the public could determine what they
would stand for. I even decided to do a few myself now
that it seemed more open.
