This series is about what becomes forgotten and lost. Like the reproductions of old postcards and letters on which they are painted, the image speaks to natural and imposed changes that alter (and often destroy) places and things (like postcards & letters written by hand). This is the reason for the metaphor of the Dead Letter Office.
Unclaimed, old (handwritten) undeliverable postcards and letters postmarked with dates and city names have long been relegated to the “Dead Letter Office” -eventually destroyed or auctioned off, sold on the internet- become metaphors for loss.
People and even places (addresses) disappear. Metaphors for our collective humanity, loss of the personal, handmade communication, loss of the slow, deliberate, thoughtful ways that connect(ed) us. This series began 2017.
