Return to Writing and Art Tee Fizz

See below an announcement from Anne McGuire about her new show at Marjorie Wood Gallery. It is a really great show. Lots of fun clicking away on the stamps revealing the postcards. I too attended the show at the Soap Gallery and encountered Karla Milosevich and her daughter there but not Dodie. Parallel experiences of art and all.

Hope you enjoy this show by these two very talented ladies at the marvelous Marjorie Wood Gallery. X.O. Drew

"Here are a few of the works on paper I've made over the years, mainly postcards. I am inspired by the beauty of postage stamps, and try to incorporate them into the theme of the card. It is also important to create a personalized work of art for the addressee. Many of my postcards have been damaged, wrongly delivered, thrown away, and will never be seen again. That is okay by me, as I enjoy working with these materials, in addition to my usual, electricity-bound and less frequent mode of work, videoart."

ANNE MCGUIRE's extensive research has shown that it takes one day for a postcard to travel from mailbox to addressee within her hometown of San Francisco. She would like to stress, as did Len Lye in his 1937 industrial film "Trade Tattoo," it still pays to "post early."

DODIE BELLAMY is a novelist, nonfiction author, journalist and editor, known for her non-traditional use of sexuality, politics, and narrative experimentation.
