Stickers, the television screen, writing used over and over again as in seals or in graffiti, art produced by the body or on the human body, all these are new forms of scripts redefining the fine arts. In Postal Art artists and art lovers communicate directly by post without intermediaries, in an exchange of drawings, photographs, or ideas without the intervention of galleries or collectors. On one level this exchange could be a simple greeting saying “hello here I am, where are you?” On another level it is an artistic communication demanding creativity, self-confidence and the ability to communicate with an audience that one cannot actually see.
