THE BEGINNING

  • Dear you,

    In 2008, an occasional series developed of own accord. A series of imagined tales written on the reverse side of a handful of my postcard collages. Over the years, this has grown. Published online, High Up in the Trees, and later bound into zine format, this project continues today.

    Housed here, under one roof, all Dear You postcard collages to date. In the wings, the promise of a new zine to add to the meld, always.

    To the traveller! Begin, and may you travel well,
    Gracia Haby

Dear you,

Seems they were not, after all, pulling my leg when they said that in New Mexico I’d find a giant sahuaro cactus taller than me. The bright red fruit of this cactus, when ripened, is sweet and over here it is considered a great delicacy.

I remain hopeful that I will catch sight of an Elf owl nesting in an abandoned woodpecker’s hole in the side of one of these awe-inspiring green forms.

Posting this to you from Arizona as I couldn’t seem to find a postal box in New Mexico.

All my love,
X
