CARNWATH GRAB BAG AUCTION
Item #102
For di Rosa Preserve
The object contained inside this box is presently a mystery to all. You, the bidder, are now taking a risk similar to the creative risks that artists take when they make a work of art. You, dear auction bidder, are experiencing the UNKNOWN. For the artist, making art is an exercise in trust. Trust that the unknown will reveal insight. You, like the artist, do not know what your desire will reveal to you. The item contained herein could be an artwork of my own making, studio archeology, an artwork by another artist, a grocery list, a sculpture, a drawing, jewelry, photos, materials to make your own artwork, a lock of hair, etc. etc.
I have decided to create the Certified Original Carnwath Grab Bag Auction Item in an attempt to meet all the requests for auction donations. So, bid high, bid often, and now bid blind. Your $$$ are going to help the di Rosa Preserve stay alive. Be generous with your $$$. This is item #102 of the Certified Original Carnwath Grab Bag items. TAKE A CHANCE. You may get something you want. You may get something you didnŐt know you wanted. With your generous contribution you will help KEEP CULTURE ALIVE while acquiring this valuable souvenir.
BEWARE: If the seal is broken prior to the successful bidderŐs examination, this package is no longer a valid Certified Original Carnwath Grab Bag Auction Item. Only your winning bid entitles you to the contents to be found inside.
