response to the postcard
the postcard response began as rectangles, i was basically just looking at the shape of the object, i used coffee because the object gave me the idea of time, something brownish/fading. then g read what i had written about rescuing the postcard in my previous post and was struck by how much i wanted to give it a home. he made me realize how much i need a home and that took me to the snail carrying it's own little house, i feel i do that. and i'm loving the snail and have been doing research about it, it's a peculiar little hermaphrodite animal. these are the initial responses but i see a lot more possibility in this, i plan to make a self portrait with snails...
