<p>Hi Rebecca. You're probably referring to keeping things people send you for collabs rather than using them to make art and sharing.</p>

<p>Hi Rebecca. You're probably referring to keeping things people send you for collabs rather than using them to make art and sharing.</p>

<p>Sometimes Ruud Janssen circulates sheets where he is trying to collect all sorts of different stamps for his TAM thing. They circulate all over the world. They tend to attract some <em>really</em> great contributions. I've held on to a couple because I just couldn't part with them. They're just too great, and I know it's really wrong because it's a serious and important archival project.</p>
<p>Those are my confessions. Can anyone match that? (You see? Mail-art does have rules in that sense.)</p> Beautiful work!
