I've always thought I would be able to use the Summer Exhibition list of works as a stimulus for poetry or visual stuff. Today was a Guido day in that I bought a book in terrible disrepair for 50P that has absolutely beautiful etchings that I know Guido would love, so I guess I'm not surprised by today's result.
Before I started today's Mail art I was looking for some Minxus Lynxus inspiration - I want to send something new that way so looked at random pages in the list book. I found some words that seemed relevant and then just didn't think anymore. The result was very definately Guido. One of the words on the page was Humument. Don't know if you know Tom Phillips' work but I am a big fan: http://gallery.humument.com/page001-birthday ?
