After-Mail

When Ruud Janssen wrote me the note on this card, he was packing to move to Breda, yet he told me he intended to paint mailart cards right up to the end. This painted wordcard of Ruud's is quite appropriate, since its word is "Post," reminds us of the mails. Of course, this word reminds us that a word out of context has limited meaning--or multiplied meaning--since the word could also mean "after." And the colors of the card remind me of the sunset, the closing of the day.
