Double-sided Mailart for easy Hangability

 So I have to admit to listening to the latest evidence dropping while typing. So when I look at David's mail art, the thing that leaps out at me is 'screw eyes cemented in brick'.  I watch a lot of crime stuff in box sets so yesterday as I walked to Trinity Buoy Wharf there is this big building site.  What went through my head was I wonder if there are any bodies buried there. Where are the bodies buried? And why can't we see the evidence? Clearly this guy in the parka doesn't want you to know.  Flip the double-sided-mailart and you someone trying not to bear witness . Holism at its best!

Clearly things have changed since the madmen style office leather sofa and the man calmly reading the paper.  OK so Nixon was up to his tricks back then, but there is no twitter and there was no Trump. And stop telling me if you have a trial you don't need witnesses. Remember there's this woman in England who is listening and watching and waiting to see how each of you acts.

Holism and stamps

I'm not sure how I could wait so long to post this hilarious (to artistamp makers/mail artists and anoraks of a particular type) mailing from Cascadia artpost! Is it really THAT OLD? 1989, the year I got married (because of mail art).Just goes to show you that nothing much (except for Trump's cabinet) really changes much. My personal favourite is the rake.

Thanks and sorry it's taken me so long to acknowledge! Great other stamps too!

Holism from Simon Warren

Behind the holes is a page from the REAL postal ledger, Simon has emptiness in his holes.  I hardly know what to think of Simon's recent departures!

Received from Mim 12.29.12

Love the image and the words on this (recycled) card. the ruffled edge on the right side is deliciously haptic and the depressions and holes make me want to send it on to Marie! And I'm reading a book about Joseph Cornell at the moment and Mim's card evokes that too!
