Does anyone know Norma Duffin?

I was wondering if anyone knows a “Norma Duffin”. She’s in her upper 80’s and still alive. I believe that she is a mail artist. I bought a bunch of her rubber stamps from someone who got them from her estate sale. She had (and now I have) rubber stamps that say “Mail Art”, “Rubber Stamp Artist”, “Norma for President, “Arte Postal”, as well as many other referencing mail art, rubber stamping, snail mail, and more. I hope to learn if she was/is a mail artist and more about her. Thanks!

Of interest: Mr. Peanut Summit

New: Mr. Peanut Summit (Filip, Supplement 5 - 2019). A conversation between Anna Banana, Michael Morris, and Vincent Trasov on publishing, performance, and networked artistic practices... draws on the overlapping biographical history of artist participants, weaving the story of their practice together with those of their many collaborators and colleagues including John Mitchell, Gary Lee Nova (aka Art Rat), Ray Johnson, General Idea, Robert Fones (aka Can.D.Man), and others.

Blog number ten: the work of idle hands . . .

So I am not a great one for creating on the computer but I've been waiting for collage to dry (again!) and, having nothing much better to do, found myself playing with ideas for the documentation for my 'Stamps for Yoko' project.  I found an image of an old poster (thank you google images) for one of Yoko's exhibitions and, working under a sudden inspiration, I have altered it a little . . .

What to do with it now I wonder.  The best I can think of is posting it here where it may…

of some asemic interest maybe . . .

Last night I found myself watching a Sci-fi film on our (British) TV. 

The film (2016) was named 'Arrival' and the story such as it was concerned the arrival of alien ships and an 'expert's' attempts at understanding their written and spoken language.  It was quite a gentle film and I think maybe anyone on IUOMA interested in asemic writing would find it intriguing . . .

Incoming: Lubomyr Tymkiv and Cascadia Artpost

A fun card from Lubomyr. Seems a bit vispo to me(which i dig). I love that evil whale(shark?) stamp in particular. There's something special about getting a card or envelope that is so covered with postage stamps that there's…

Number nine, number 9 number 9 . . .

The postie has just brought me the first half of the documentation I am doing for my on-going 'Stamps for Yoko' project (yes it has a fancy name now) and it is slowly turning into a thing of small and modest beauty; you could say, rather like the lady herself!

I can hardly wait to finish it off and send it all out but patience is a virtue (I am repeatedly told) and there is still space for a couple more designs to be included.  Any takers?

Blog number eight: Strike or not

I really ought to have put some thought into this posting but it is a spur of the moment thing and maybe it will be the better for it.

Hard to miss the Global (whatever that means) strike being called for today to draw attention to the vast problems facing the world's equilibrium. 

I imagine that most people involved in the Eternal Network are to some extent sympathetic to the causes and have an awareness of the difficulties involved in 'climate change'. yet I can't help…
