About the Tote Bag:
My totebag will be a cyanotype/blue print of a "sample" totebag with a "YOUR LOGO HERE" design on the front and blank on the back (both clearly identified as front and back on the corresponding front and back of the tote). I love images inside of images, so I see this as something that could go on indefinitely--the next bag depicting the cyanotype of the "YOUR LOGO HERE" bag, and so on, with imagery receding far into the representations as the project carries on until my demise. Or until some proxy picks up the important mission of iterations of totebags on totebags until the end of time or until every single member of the human race has one, whichever milestone comes first.
