Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
Like all of us, I suspect, I first did mail art as a child--flowers on cards for grandma, secret codes on letters to girlfriends. Unwittingly, too, I made primitive dadaist collage on packages.

Now I'm in my sixties. I work each day in hope for "the genius," as baudelaire said, to "recover that childhood at will, a childhood brighter now--gifted for self-expression with the tools of adulthood."

Mail art originates in Dada: this thrills me.

Mail art is performance art: this ignites me.
