Before the instrument, before the procedure, before forgetting, there is preparation.
The Preparation Card is the smallest formal object in The Mercy of Forgetting: an interpretive piece designed to be handled, kept nearby, tucked into a book, placed at a desk, or given to someone entrusted with care.
The ether apparatus and forget-me-nots return here in a more intimate form, carrying the collection from observation into ritual.
It is not a greeting card and requires no occasion.
It is simply a small preparation for the work of remembering what another person has been permitted to release.
