Call them circles, call them dots, use a hole punch, use a template, draw them, scribble them, paint them, collage them. This is all about circles and how we make use of them.
Dean artist in Seine from 2020. I love going through my old mail. Nice surprises. How this didn’t end up in the boxes I sent to the special collections at the VCU library I don’t know.
Received from Keiichi Nakamura - circle mail. Plus he sent me copies of the zine we collaborated on. Happy to receive and think about the fact that I’ll be in Japan in June.
A big thanks to Mim for her completely original Tactile Braille Inspired sandpaper circle themed post card. It was cut to perfectly fit in to my micro return envelope, and arrived in perfect shape! It has a rectangle of sand paper with two circles cut out. The one is at the bottom left corner and is bigger while being partially off the page and the smaller complete circle is mid way top. Then on the right side of the white card are two sandpaper circles and one that is smooth a black laminated card stock. There are pin pricks that make raised holes across the top 2/3 of the card, that flow down to the bottom right corner. It is so visually modern looking, while being extremely tactically readable too! Thank again, it is so cool!

I hope (by exception(?)) these two half circles may count as one circle, too?! :-)
