MAIL ART... ALL forms of art?
I sense that we think of mail art as visual or perhaps textual [poetry] art but there is a whole Universe of other art, think singing, dance, instrumental music. And, with that to prime our mindset, allow me to introduce you to an amazing guitarist, Jin San Kim, 19-yr old Korean, self taught, sounds as if he plays with at least 40 fingers...Here is a link: https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11w223r492&hl=en-US&q=Spy&shndl=17&source=sh/x/kp/osrp/m5/4&kgs=c953310f264dbaeeY'r ol' Bud, FikeSee More

Hi Ficus, I received your mailart. What a nice letter! It's good to get to know you better. Thank you! I sent you something a couple of days ago so you should be receiving it soon.

Hi Ficus, You're right, we are friends, but like you, I don't remember us ever exchanging mailart. We need to correct that. :) The address in my profile is correct and I will be sending something to you this weekend.

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.
