words by Ann Matsushima

so i finished 3 collage postcards. you should tell leah stella that she has inspired me to collage on top of my postcards. its makes the experience a whole lot more personal. i enjoy producing art and then forgetting i made it, only to see it again someday and be reminded that i produced that image. that means that the image is very temporary, for me, and yet it has a state of making an impact, perhaps for the receiver of the postcard. a person is more likely to remember a word or quote or image if given to them like a present. this is what i believe leah's postcards represent to me, and thats what i'm trying to convey. a image is a gift, and the receiver should take it in and give it whatever meaning.

my head is heavy with hair. i can't support it up any longer. that means i should sleep and dream of my adventures and my future adventures. i wish i could fly. i wish i could eat a big bowl of hot noodles. i wish i had a hat made of fur and a coat made of yak leather. i wish i could carry around a huge sword and fight with it when i was attacked. i wish i had a pair of mocassins, made of soft suede leather and feathers. i wish i could tattoo my whole back with images of water and feathers and clouds and fish and all good things. i wish i could eat rainbows and clouds and love and hate. i wish i could have your hands on my face and that i could spread soft kisses all over them. i wish i could eat bread and butter and drink hot chocolate in large clay mugs. i wish i could travel for days, without any food or drink, and still be strong enough to survive the intense loneliness of life.
