I wanted to create a piece of art as a postcard to encourage people to write to each other again.
If you were lucky enough to live during the time of letter writing, you remember the very slow silence between correspondence. This gave you time to reflect on the words sometimes reading them over and over again.
Often my friends and I would draw elaborate pictures on our envelopes and make the letter long and juicy, filled with art and expression. Getting this in the mail after a dull day ….just made your whole heart light up. Everything was fun again and the mystery of what was inside that envelope was to be savored and enjoyed.
A love letter was a thing to behold. The letter itself was love. These were not thrown away whether the bond broke or not. Too precious. And even if they were misplaced or discarded…they live on in the heart.
Eternal is… an expression of love.
