Hello to all and sundry of you--
i seem to have missed what the original note is re postacrds--
to whom does one send them, and for what theme?
might someone let me know --i would be as they say eternally gratefull- (but what if you don't believe in eternity?!--what then--)
amazing to find the word "postcards"--as have been working on many to send out today!
using spray paint found objects some collaged materials and clay (cards of course, also--)
at first i thought that perhaps working so long with the rubBEings of late to complete some proejcts--that working with the clay and objects at home--i might now be only in the way of finding objects of use--
yet--of course! one can also make impressions, cats--the opposite turned inside out of rubBEings--
apply the clay to the found tetterings attached to public private sights/sites/cites--and carry off the impression--to paint at home or on street in chosen areas--
one am very fond of is a small area only found in so far--AMERICAN DARLING--in large solid letterings on fire hydrants!
they are both red and read, so to speak
would this working be called "impressionism?!"
after all, one is making impreeions and also working outdoors!
at time ones also makes an imprssion on a querying person, a yuppie landlord or tenant--or a nice quiet policeman suddenly standing there staring down at you
"what you up to buddy?"
when it is explained--of course! what a marvlous idea! i tell him that i am collecting al sorts of things presenting in my one way a sort of tour of Milwaukee--
in other words, i am being a good citizen, harming no property--
property is really the key--of just about everything--in the usa, as i thibnk is written into our Constitution--private property--rights--written by mainly wealthy land owners who disliked paying taexs!--to far away England--
was thinking--and learning by noticing--in so many areas of the city--to avoid taxes and to ensure good property--the hordes now exited to the suburbs--leaving an immesne burden in many manhy ways--on those of us who remain--
have learned all sortsof things historical, legal, economic, health care related--
this is part of why i use only found materials and sites/sights/cites of streets etc driectly rubBEd--
no property or ownership involved--
to investigate the everyday--"the common thing anonymously about us"--w.c. willaims--"a poem can be made of anything"--poem cards!--
in uncanny recongitions--
i think postcards are a great fit with al this, as they like Mail Art are really, it is the communication itself which makes the sense of community
community./communication--as on postcards, the space is samll--on ethinks of how best to convey something in thislimited space--and possibilites open up--
or as they say, truly--"it's the thought that counts"!
onwo/ards--"ride boldy ride" in the mmortal words of Edgar Allen Poe's "El Dorado"
