Fishing For Friends

In July 2015, when Jessica Anne Schwartz relocated from San Francisco to New York, she began "fishing for friends" from the window of her new Chelsea studio. She painted a bird on a sheet of music, attached it to a chocolate bar, and lowered it down to the open window below. Soon, her creative bait was taken, leading to an exchange of gifts between floors. Remarkably, their correspondence has continued for four years, despite never having met in person.
