MaoMao

I'm just a cat that can read and write.

Paper, stamps, calligraphy, wax seals, inks, ephemera, maps, storytelling, luscious paint, printmaking, and little illustrations in the margins...I love them so much that I could eat them.

Literature major, bookbinder, embroiderer, ailurophile, sketchbook filler, collector of languages, shoestring vagabond (Beware! I have three passports, and I know how to use them...)

An eye for an eye.

I'm still looking for my mail ART soulmate.

I invest plenty of energy, earnestness, and effort in mail art. I know it's supposed to be non-precious, a rejection of bourgeois aesthetics, dada, punk, anti-beauty anti-art...but I can't help myself. If I'm going to do anything, I prefer to send stuff that is made from scratch, with care, by hand. I often spend a whole day on one piece...

That said, if you send a quick piece of craft store scrapbooking ready-mades, you will receive the same.

But send me an eye, by god, and you will get an eye. *winks*

I am so sad to hear this though we never got to exchange mail. She was so talented.

Received this sad news:

Hi Ruud,

Recently, I sent some mail art to MaoMao aka Nat from Australia (http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ScarletLetterbox). I've had a letter back from her husband letting me know that she has passed away quite unexpectedly, and to please let the IUOMA members know as he does not have access to her account. 

I am shocked and saddened by her passing, as I considered her a dear fellow artist friend. I know that she was planning a trip to Oaxaca Mexico over Day of the Dead this year and I was so looking forward to all of the amazing art she was going to create and the stories she'd have to tell. 

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to get the word out, or if you'd like a copy of the letter her husband sent me. 

Thanks in advance,

Dawn Currin AKA Tiny Whisk

Personals Ad by Allen Ginsberg

[I love that in this original version of the poem, there was an address at the bottom, and it was Allen Ginsberg's personal postal address. I sometimes wonder if this post box still exists, or if they had to cancel it because the new owners keep getting mail from people touched by Ginsberg's poetry?]

"I will send a picture, too
