"1. A postcard made in a fundraising series for the Standing Rock Sioux Water Defenders Camp back in 2018 now has my words of celebration as the Dakota Access Pipeline, resisted by the Standing Rock Camp, has finally been halted. Postcards used to be a way of getting out the news, and I like the idea of sharing good news in this time of struggle and plague.

2. A postcard from an independent bookshop I have actually never been to--what better way to address Stranger? I bring Stranger into relationship with me through a desperate request.

3. A postcard I made by hand as part of a local art exchange. We were encouraged to make stamps with household materials, so I used boiled beets and then mailed 20 versions out to neighbors. The writing here is in also a sample of what I sent out to these different strangers."
