Postcards 98
consists of 14 postcards, 148mm x 104mm, printed on
various stocks, in a green card slipcase with die cut central window and thumb-hold,
published in 1998.
13 texts are presented where most postcards more usually show a picture, and one postcard carries
a photographic image - of the artist cartwheeling on the Pont des Arts, Paris, France.
The photograph was taken on 4 April 1998, the artist's 35th birthday, by the Russian pianist Yekaterina Lebedeva using a 35mm b/w disposable camera. 'It struck me that 35 was half way towards the biblical three-score-and ten and a cartwheel seemed an appropriately pivotal action to mark the occasion.'
Postcards 98
explores the possibility of being more deeply implicated in life. 'I wanted to ask if it were possible to operate at a level deeper than friendship, to find interactions that challenged the conventions of mere sociability and related new depths of value and meaning.'
