Huh? Who wouldn't want to be there when Alicia cleans up? My hand is staying down. This is a stunner: 

This so-called clean-up hits a home run in my view. And it's hard to portray via scanner, but the central face in this piece is a translucent overlay on the faces lurking underneath. A Lady of the Lake. It is an intelligent, humble, searching face, with depth literally and figuratively. And this arrived in a survey-like, architectural-like envelope--ground material we have occasionally seen before in Alicia's mail art. It always speaks to me: 

Below are the explanatory side of the haunting piece and a separate piece that I love also ("holes in clouds"!): 

*Thank you* again, Alicia.

Alicia, I can't help smiling even though I understand too well what you said and recognize the growing holes syndrome. Every day is a new day in more ways than one.

Thanks Nancy Bell. I have no memory of the 'holes in clouds' one. Not a good sign.
