The recent Olympic Games in Great Britain brought back fond memories of my trips to England over the years, most particularly a six week study abroad course at Oxford in 1982. Back then, all contact with friends and family in the U.S. was via airmail letters, telegrams, postcards, and the rare international phone call. I saved these fragments of international correspondence and used them as the collaged underpainting of this artwork. "Royal Mail" was stamped on all British airmail, and became the title of the piece. Enjoy.
