printer proofs from “Dave O dispatch volume three” ~ Nepal Aerogramme ~ a double sided barn-door trifold featuring a *possibly undelivered/refused* love letter aerogramme from Nepal, August 1, 1973 + with a still life from a desk at the (possibly real) “holy donkeys” Ghandruk guesthouse with poetry and flowers
bundled with your own sheet of Holy Donkeys stationery (to continue the story perhaps) and a wallet-ish size snapshot of a watercolor of the world peace stupa & Lake Thewa in Pokhara from a very real window, and of course just the right envelope, stamps & code for companion spoken word plus guitar & soundscape audios
Designed to stand like a diorama on your bookshelf, desk with a mountain view, cubby box, or slipped into a cedar lined stash of forgotten love letters ~ artisan printed by 106 year-old master shop Bizen with the most exquisite paper
{not available for order yet, yet can’t help to let you know}
PS the originals that compiled this piece are all lost to me, nothing exists except these shadows of the artifacts so the story is yours to dream, to paraphrase Borges “the original is unfaithful to the recreation”
Fond thanks to 備前凸版工作所 & R. Scales
a special request to support Nepal in wake of the recent natural conundrums / the peak of our world and everything comes downhill from there
