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.

#11 Arrived
The first in the new series of cards has arrived. Written in the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green, all of the sounds mentioned were effected by the considerable reverb created by the building.
Message from happy subscriber - 'THANK YOU!!!! for the great postcard from the exhibition/museum. I really liked it, full of noise and clutter - a 'day out' but also a world within a world, family within family, reminded me of the chef picture on the ketchup label, getting smaller and smaller, also a 'family icon' of 'yesteryear'. Fusing the iconography with the language.'
