.... IN MEMORY OF NANCY SCALI ...

today the catalogue for Nancy Scali came back with a sad notice; Nancy has been ill the last years and now I found the message online that she has passed away:

Born October 28, 1946, passed away June 3, 2011, in Claremont, CA. She graduated from Chaffey High School, in 1964, and Chapman University, in 1968, with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Art. Nancy later earned elementary and administrative credentials and taught in the public schools for 35 years. She retired from the Ontario/Montclair School District in 2008. She is survived by her husband, Thomas Scali; her son, Ian; and a brother, Houston Dewey of Clifton Virginia. Nancy was 64 years of age.

No. 905 - arriving mail art from Luis Filipe Gomes (Portugal) - this is infact an outstanding sending, it came as registred letter, but already opened, I hope nothing is missing. Inside a wonderful artistbook full of creativity, lovely sketches, drawings, collages, historical wisdom about Portugal and his culture, statements and influences of Luis. And lots about Bismarck too as you can see her, other pages you can see on my other blog. The booklet has about 200 pages !!! each of them an artwork on its own. I can not post all of them, you have to see the booklet in your own hand and it will simply kick you out. Thank you for this very special and flabbergasting mail art.
