This postcard was sent to Anna Dorothea Dirks by Wally Moes, and it's like a little performance. Look at the handwriting, how it loops and leans, almost like a dance across the page. I can imagine Wally Moes with a pen in hand, pausing, pressing down, then lifting and swirling in the air. It's as if the address and message are alive, each stroke a breath. I am always so curious about other artists, their intentions and feelings. Sending messages, hoping it reaches the right person at the right time, it's all part of a big human conversation. Even now, long after Wally Moes sent it, we're still tuning in, listening.
