The NeverEnding Stamp Equation

The NeverEnding Stamp Equation is an ongoing collaborative project where participants choose stamps carved by myself to fill in blanks in an empty equation. Their unique equations combine their choices and intention with my repeatable matrixes, and result in personalized statements printed by each individual rather than myself. I began this project at the 2019 Pickwick Print Fair in Congress Square Park in Portland, ME. The project is designed to never end, so I will continue to create equations with any and all who have interest in the project and sharing it at events whenever I can. There are many equations I have thought of that have not yet been made, and many that have been made that I may have never thought of. Pictured below are the empty equations and spreadsheets displaying the stamps that make up the NeverEnding Stamp Equation. Collaborators can choose any combination and number of stamps to use to print their equation, the only limit being the empty space given in the equation and the bounds of their imagination.
