About DEAREST 2012…
an experiment in handwriting

My inspiration for the 2012 project comes from the mystery of how it would feel to be in a room with only handwritten letters.

I wanted raw.  Beauty.  Realness.  The time and space romance of writing.

To experiment, I mailed an invite in 2010 to everyone in my address book asking people to respond in handwriting.

Over the next two years I received over 40 poems, letters, sketches & copies of letters.  They were gorgeous.  Handwriting does something to the heart.  It affects us profoundly.


Many thanks to Diane West Gallery in Durango, Colorado for hosting the show
