Why I am involved in Mail-Art:

To rejoin the hand to the spirit, the foot to the hand, and paper to the word.

I've been involved in Mail Art for several decades, beginning in the late 80s, when I invited people to contribute, by mail, to a program for cable access here in the Midwestern US. Postcards, art video, letter-art, poetry, detourned ads, mysterious objects. In downtown St. Paul, in a former boot factory, I maintained a shrine for several years, to a figure I no longer remember the name of. (The shrine was kept in an envelope, and never had a visitor.)

  Thank you for the letter (which came to me a long time ago), for the bucks`s elements, for other magical Mail Art things.

  Hi Stephen. Your Mail Art is like breaking the blockade! I've received one single envelope in the last three weeks and it's your message in a gilded cover! Thank you very much.
