I love the Post Office. Aka, the Church of Snail Mail. An institution reflecting the fading vision of democratic public services. Churls say the church should cease to exist. Their mantra? Privatize privatize privatize. Buttressed by claims that long distance communication by paper is doomed. So low tech don'cha know. To which I reply--

Much like a "reading slump" (for you bibliophiles), I am going through a mail art slump. It's not that I don't want to make any mail art, I really want to, but life has gotten in the way. I want to get as many little art pieces as I can out into the world but studying and working two jobs is kind of slowing me down. So I might not be as active as I want to be in the mail art community but rest assured I will be making them during every free moment I can get! It might just be a while...

each ATC has the words "for change turn over" and on the back side are different leaves....Very different... Loved hearing from you David....Thank you....
