Author’s Commentary. I have been doing postcards for some years now. They began as collages, and images cut from magazines, but as time went on I needed the cards to get more complicated and I started to use color shapes and 3-D elements. These are postcards not for sending.

Congrats to Christopher Allen for having a work from HOUSEHOLD TOXINS being chosen to appear in BSF 2019 from Sonder Press.
