Rest Here: Telephone Pole Series

Description

Rest Here is one of a set of three digital collage prints. Each of these digital collages features a scan of a postage stamp from my collection. I love stamps because each one is like a tiny piece of art, with a unique postage date and a “sent from” location. A stamp is such a functional thing, yet we make them beautiful and meaningful when we wouldn’t have to.

A stamp travels from someone’s hands and is touched by many along its journey where it arrives in someone else’s hands. This action of touch in communication is magical in a digital world. And also something that belongs mostly to a past generation.

This series is about honoring the stamp and how we communicate with each other. Or don’t.
