I think the potential for highly-intimate raw expression is astoundingly great with mail art... and that just so happens to be my aesthetic. I also believe mail art is one of the few egalitarian, participatory art-forms--I dig this.

yes friendly mailboxes! i am so inspired by your recent posts on the little books you have been making. what an awesome way to convey some interesting personal information! i totally dig this... will have to experiment with little mini books as well... which may find you in the mail...
welcome! i know i'm a bit tardy... checked out your blog and am in love! i really love the barriers that you break down with your intimate portraiture as your mail art. i also love how mail art is such an egalitarian and participatory art form... no judgment and open to everyone - you display this very prominently in your works. awesome!
