It's Been Too Long

Quite a long time ago I received this mail art from Ted Trager.  I had it in my head that I would get all caught up before I went to Maine and send out the stuff I planned to send out.  I even had some labels all ready to go and then my scanner went on a go slow.  I'm not sure if it's a memory problem on my computer.  It persists but I was dogged today, finally. I hoped to scan in Maine so transported my M/A to America.  I failed that too.  I was just gardening too much.

And then it was Open Studios, a trip to Normandy, two commissions and countless deadlines as well as THE GARDEN. 

Enough preamble.

I love this mailing. Chris Clother's illustrations are beautiful and poignant. Ted's bookbinding is glorious.  i love a perforated stamp! The photos are random and interesting and in a funny way familiar.  They put piles of road grading material on a loading bay at the bottom of a hill where I run with Lyra.  I made a monoprint called 'Battisford Mounds', they intrigue me.  I don't have any tattoos. Asemic overtyping is gorgeous.

Thank you.
