Encarted with Aristide in a migration of fundamental ideas

Aristide 3108 is a thoughtful mail artist whose work sings of weighty aspects of the world.  As something of a worrier myself about humanity, equality, justice Aristide's message about our connection through mail art as a means to break down barriers of language, misunderstandings physical divides rings strong and loudly for me. As ever I respond to Aristide's unique style, organic forms and order of chaos!  Many thanks for including me in this mailing!

Aristide sends the stuff of life: Encardted DNA

   

                     

More beautiful work from Aristide!  I am reminded in a personal message that I have not yet sent 'my best mail art'.  I have finally sent something, although what is best? 

I love the way this and the other mail I have recieved from Aristide 3108 is about the essence of life.  The organic nature of the pieces, the way the ideas spill out and hint at meaning, there for me to take, understand and respond to. I get the sense that Aristide finds a moment in the vortex of life to carve out a contempletive space.  I have not found the equivalent, this autumn yet, but if and when I do I hope to find a voice as strong and sure as Aristide's. Love this beautiful work!
