Various Greeting Cards: 2011

Orientation

In May of 2008, I began a series of collages in the form of greeting cards as part of my aim to investigate the nature of being a human. I intended to only continue this project for a year but it found an irreplacable position in my personal process and in the hearts of some of my fans...and so it continues.

The cards capture different aspects of human emotion, points of view and stages of relationships. Some of these aspects so fleeting we would never recall them on own unless probed and others as deep-rooted and continually present in our being that they our existence aches with them. Roughly I have three categories that cards fall into; Matters of the Heart, Listen to Me, and Occasions. Matters of the Heart covers love, compliments, gratitude, sympathies, comfort and courting. Listen to Me covers advice, reflections and opinions. Occasions covers holidays, events and stages. Enjoy.

to start us off, I will walk down memory lane

i was on a flight and the girl across from me was sitting with a total idiot, so i came back and made this

This was one of my first cards and summarized a couple years of high school for me

an ode to long term relationships?

on a more serious note, i learn circa 2008 that sometimes relationships need to end no matter what you think should happen
