For nearly a year I have been placing these little ceramic spirit animals all over town. They've been dropped in the unsuspecting and open purses of concert-goers, propped up in planters at restaurants, wedged up high and down low in countless dive bar bathrooms. Occasionally, I'll give one away straight by hand. Sometimes I have something that I don't want to sacrifice to the masses-- a cool bear, say. If I meet some friendly bear-type in line for the bathroom or something, he might get it. If it strikes me.
The idea is that they go where they go. The spirit animal finds the person that needs it.
I always thought it would be cool to track or tag them but never tried-- sent them off naked, no names, no place of origin.
Until now!
If you are here, one of the tagged buggers has likely found you! How lucky you are!
Please share the circumstances by which you were united with your animal. I'd love to hear which way the wind blows them and where they wind up!
Part community art project, part spiritual journey-- because beasts are everywhere, and we're all a little animal.
