Confessional art project

Since January, I've been engaged in a research project on the social function of confession, so I was thrilled to be sent a link to this ongoing art project on Blogspot in which people write personal secrets onto postcards and upload them for the world to see. The combination of visual and textual elements really makes these confessions potent. I know what I'll be reading all day.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to make the image link to one of my favorite postcard confessions work! Grrr. You'll just have to go and see for yourself.

I was hoping NOT to see this on Boing Boing, but now I have, I can just imagine the amount of people going to thrash and flame this site now, this is one of the only sites I actually like, now its going to be bombarded with Pricks all over the net with stupid postcards, I soooo wish it never appeared on Boing Boing, they are going to ruin it for EVERYONE! This felt like a little gem when I found it, a handful of like minded people, now its in the hands of the masses, what a sad day!
