Mail Art Received Last Week of February 2011

I dont know how Onward John knows he sent an avid insomniac a package of sleeplessness. But he did. Never mind all the Vispo theory attached to John's work, it struck a chord.

We may have to take it to the dealer for work, or even leave it there for further study. Right now we are holding steady, but it seems sketchy for us here.
