Lenore Tawney (1907–2007, American)
Mail art to Kirk Winslow, son of filmmaker Maryette Charlton, ca. 1965
Fiber artist Lenore Tawney developed a visual vocabulary through her personal correspondence. Many of her mail art collages for filmmaker Maryette Charlton feature found feathers and stickers. This whimsical card references a line from Lewis Carroll's nonsensical poem "Jabberwocky:"
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy." |
