A Blog for Karen Greenwood -The Tale of The Cave of Crowetjie Fistak

 The Tale of The Cave of Crowetjie Fistak

 Karen’s instantly recognizable fantasmical winged creatures are very familiar to artists who have corresponded with her.  As a recipient of Karen’s meticulous, well crafted work for over a year, I was so pleased to  receive an answer to my request for an alternate fairy story.  The invented world of Karen is presented from her envelope right through to  her title page – The find of a cave begins with what’s in there.  For SURE!…

A Blog for Heather Miller.

Ancient Asemic Text.

Heather always sends thought provoking artworks – this is no exception. An asemic textual fragment, aged and shadowed.  I am reminded of Phoenician Alphabet scrips from the 5th century, the marks here embedded in paper instead of basalt.  Maybe its not paper. Its feels like a coating, the skin of a wall. 

 Overleaf –…

Lauriana's Windmill boekies

I received these 2 fabulous boekies on Tuesday, Laurie's contribution to Windmills of your Mind project. They are excellent - the colours in the blue photographic fairground one are so crystal clear - AWESOME! And the red one feels like leather, the paper is so textured and heavy, with a Stonehenge image inside. So different to the other but both beuatiful. Thankyou Laurie, it was worth the wait!…

Great Asemic Concrete Poetry from Bruno in Espana

These look much greater in person an amazing combination of text and imagery.  It is called The Roar Series and everything echoes the story (written in English AND Spanish on the reverse side) by James Joyce A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.He tells me it is a trade secret how he prints the text on heavy cardstock but maybe one day I will get it out of him.  Thank you… Continue

KAREN CHAMPLIN: A GIFT OF THE MIND AND SOUL

The postal service in Decatur, Georgia, delivered a gift of the mind and soul from Karen Camplin in Highland Park, Illinois. It is from Karen that I receive the first "enveloped" mail art, which adds an entirely new dimension to mail art for me! Layered visual communication! The "feel" of the envelope is love, frivolity, attendance to image, a presence in the form of a finger print--is it Karen's?

 

Then inside, there is something more quiet, more layered--profound and warmly…
