I'm more optimistic about the survival of mailing systems. Online shopping has added to the need for them, for example.

I really think that letter post will disappear Jennifer, so we would not be able to send paper post at all. A sad day.

Digital art has its charm too but I love the texture of different papers and even the smell.

Bruno - I can't get excited about making digital work or looking at lots online. You can see more online than we were ever able to see when we were limited to reproductions in books, but no reproduction's the same as things like paper, paint, ink, etc.

If postage costs go up a lot more I will still make work on paper, but I'll post less.

But I appreciate seeing a selection of people's work online (such as on this website and in blogs). It lets me learn more about the type of work they're making and are interested in. A type of artists statement?

I think we will finish there unfortunately.

Postal prices are increasing every year to pay for costs, they say.

More likely to make money for the shareholders, I say.

Soon we will only be able to send parcels through the post at considerable price, I think

I sometimes post photos to iuoma here and in Facebook. Here when I can figure out where my photos are in my chrome book.

Having seen Martha's door gallery and the shopping trolley - apart from the beard - how else do people show what they're receiving?

Jennifer- it is possible to move de photos and rearrange them once they are inside the album but it is quite fiddly and I have not the patience, or the time.  So not for me.

As to the trolley first I wrapped it in canvas and pinned the work on. Not very good. So I got a piece of stiff clear plastic and stuck them there with blue tack but the trolley got too small for the volume of Mail Art and I had to change the display every few days.

The door, so far, lasts for six to eight weeks and it is in a small porch so it is protected from the rain.
