"Gratzi Ms. Huff! I'm glad you liked the imagery (and even shot a picture of it; which is the only way I document my stuff - if the recipients shoot or scan it). Will post more if you like...  "

"Thank you for what, so far, is a bi-monthly occurrence. I haven't googled the dates on the nosey stamp - I presume they have much or no significance? And please tell me about Girum Archives. There is much about much that I do not know."

"Thank you for the message! Not from OCAD, but I have been part of many mail art groups, though most of them have since disappeared. It's so nice to see IUOMA is still active."

Mail-Artist since:

My Website (without http://):

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
To rejoin the hand to the spirit, the foot to the hand, and paper to the word.

I've been involved in Mail Art for several decades, beginning in the late 80s, when I invited people to contribute, by mail, to a program for cable access here in the Midwestern US. Postcards, art video, letter-art, poetry, detourned ads, mysterious objects. In downtown St. Paul, in a former boot factory, I maintained a shrine for several years, to a figure I no longer remember the name of. (The shrine was kept in an envelope, and never had a visitor.)
