A new project by Stuart Bowditch. Starting in 2010, Stuart will send a series of postcards from various location from around the world to a variety of friends and family 'back home'. The postcards will be made only from locally sourced materials and stationary. Instead of the customary picture or photograph on the front, Stuart will use the imagery of words to describe the place that he is in, leaving the recipient to form their own idea of the surroundings.

#5 Sent
Postcard #5 was sent today from St.Peter Port in Guernsey, and posted by Phil Hunter about one week after I went with him to work on the island. The post boxes in Guernsey have a similar design to mainland UK but are painted a rather bright blue. The observations in the poem were made from the Hotel Marton, St.Peter Port, where I stayed whilst working with Phil and Steve Ford. There were two types of found object which were transformed into the cards...one was a ladies sanitary disposal bag found in the hotel bathroom and the second was a sick bag found on the Ferry. I chose carefully the recipients of each.
