During the making of the first installment of An Encyclopedia of Everything, I made 4 books in this series. They are an interesting read - I wrote regarding the first series - Mail art has afforded me a wealth of notes – handwritten in the main, and each giving details of a mailing, or a process, or just a thank you.
They tell me the circumstances people find themselves in, the exhibitions they have entered, or how they spent some time in summer. I know if my work received gave pleasure, and most of all, they remind me that the spirit of written generosity is still alive and well. They are the best part of receiving an envelope.
Unfortunately
I can’t return the favor due to calamitous handwriting - BUT I do try, as well as I may to
substitute with typewritten notes.
This
is a continuation of that series. It
contains notes from USA, UK, Norway, Finland, Japan, South Africa, Australia,
Brazil, Netherlands and Germany and Switzerland.
