A Blog for Lancillotto Bellini The Face is a World

[cheryl penn]

Mail Art received second week January 2011.

This is the first mail art I have received from Lancilotto Bellini - of Recycling Art fame.  How glad I am it is for the World is a Town project.

May I just quote you some words by T.S. Elliot?

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock  

 

There will be time, there will be time

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet….

 

Do I dare        

 Disturb the universe?

In a minute there is time

For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.  

 

For I have known them all already, known them all

Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,        

 I have measured out my life with coffee spoons

I know the voices dying with a dying fall

Beneath the music from a farther room.   

    So how should I presume?  

 

And I have known the eyes already, known them all—       

The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase…

 

Even Billy Joel sang of the Faces of a stranger, the faces we hide behind, some are silk and some are leather.

 Included in last weeks booklets I received from  John Bennett was a collaborative effort between Lancillotto and John.

Fantastic.

Thanks Lancillotto. I am VERY glad we are corresponding.

Tremendous work by Bellini - completely distinctive. Love the T.S. Eliot woven in. I think it works very well.
