Description
Mail art piece created by Rochelle Thompson, consisting of a color xerox photo copy of a vintage postcard showing a man and woman embracing outdoors. At top of picture in red text is "Get busy, I'm sterilized" and "In Corry, Pa." at the bottom. The image of the couple, attached to the postcard with glue, has become detached and is now being held together with an orange plastic clip. The mail artist's great uncle had sent his mother this card dated August 25, 1982 with dense handwritten message on the left and a mailed address and postage stamp on the right. Mail art recipient: Daniel Mark Graham.
