Don't Please Tell Anybody is a new anthology of torn and restored notes, letters + doodles, 30 years in the making. An unlikely document of dark comedy, high intrigue, dashed dreams and abandoned hopes. Reassembling a lost and shredded note reveals two sides of an exchange, the words and the impassioned response encoded into the page. If you arrive late to the scene, and pieces have been blown away, you must fill in the missing pieces yourself, detective style.
It's an uneasy feeling to even partially reveal what are often intensely personal moments. But this is what writers and artists do - we explore and reflect the greater human experience, and find meaning and hope in disorder.
Don't Please Tell Anybody is being funded by subscription, with pledges accepted up until 31 May 2026. Please click the text or image for more details and to support the campaign.
