Heart Matters
Unique book, leather cover, book pages made from brown paper packets
sewn together at the spine (2011). Each packet acts as an envelope, which
holds mail art received by Lisa dealing with Heart Matters (a call I made on
IUOMA in 2011).
In white, almost secret writing are the words from the George
Harrison song - The Answers at the End. Some inclusions:
Beautiful Loser (Jolie the Drama), Tired eyes - a mail art zine
by IsisAnyanka, Solutions to the Problem
of the Eternal Triangle - "Volume No One, Issue One in the beginningless,
endless series - Sweet Revenge, The Wicked Delights of getting Even (Regina
Barreca), but this version of Heart Matters? It ends with "A Band Aid for
a broken heart - apply as directed - apply as needed".
My conclusion?
Heart Matters is a complex subject. It binds who
we are. The heart of a grown woman? It beats in unfathomable depths, it echoes
in places that cannot reached. It pounds in the darkness WILLING
suffocation by beauty. It skips in the light and breathes quietly in
uncertain spaces. Tread softly you who dare to engage with this force that
pounds within. Lisa - I still marvel at the generosity of this gift - MANY thanks again. Time has flown and we are so much further down that road... it all seems a little unreal now X
