Mail art no. 133

Mail art

Two-sided postcard piece, created by Bill Fornof, featuring an abstract illustration of a fried egg floating against a blue gradient background on the front with black ink handwriting and a U.S. postage stamp affixed to back. The back of a postcard has a handwritten message on the left and a mailing address on the right. A purple circular postmark from San Diego, California dated September 2, 1982 appears near the top center, partially overlapping the dividing line. A 15-cent U.S. postage stamp labeled “Architecture USA” featuring the Furness 1893–1912 Penn Academy, Philadelphia is affixed in the upper right corner. The sender’s handwritten name and location appear at the bottom left. Message reads: Our Generation
can be the first
free of the earth
embryos of the
future...
