Hello Fike, Your mail has arrived. Thank you for the playful enclosures. FYI: my iuoma avatar is made from a mask (2006) decorated with dried flowers and leaves, feathers, snakeskin, and semi-precious stones carvings. It represents Gaia, mourning the destruction of the earth.

Thank you! I will send something your way too! I have just finished my studies and am looking for a job. I've spent the last 7 years working with homeless people and people with addictions and mental illnesses.
See you in the mail,
K.G.B.
