out of the mouths of…
the first three of an onslaught of responses received from children
what joy!

this first one either says ‘mom’ or it is a sun with two birds …and a whole bunch of other great stuff!

my friends KEEP me human

shoes! of course! yes!
horseshoes don’t count, and while quite possibly useful, those little dog booties i see about town are too undignified to acknowledge
my thanks to the kiddies who, without any surprise, find light and positivity
stay tuned…there are many more kids to weigh in

this is actually the very first ‘what makes you human?’ postcard to have arrived some weeks ago
it came close from home

communication is not reserved for humans alone
…miscommunication
leaving a creative mark
recorded history
testing (…abusing perhaps these days) the boundaries of communication
having an opinion
taking a stand
this is human
and it all starts with a ‘hi there!’

…from abroad
my message in a bottle returned to me

from beautiful uruguay
maravilloso!!!

this first message makes the entire project worthwhile
gracias por la conexión Alina Tortosa usted es el arte
i literally squealed in delight and jumped around in happy circles (at the post office)
the postcards are making their way around the world
…uruguay, chile, argentina, uk, alaska & florida usa, saudi arabia, germany, ireland, my office
consider taking some with you if you are off somewhere fabulous
or if you already are somewhere fabulous send your address (heartbeatgalart@gmail.com) and i will mail you a stack

have been away. mentally.
i am back with this question for everyone in 2014
what makes you human?
are you able to draw your answer? write it? glue it on? on the front above the question
find one of these cards and use it to answer in whatever way moves you on the front
then drop it in the mail
simple
fun
together it will make an interesting collage
that i will display somehow for nuit blanche ottawa gatineau 2014
i need my collaborators again!!
i will be checking the mail often
off again. this time physically.
talk soon
