Artist's Description
In my postage stamp collection I have a large piece of envelope that someone cut off an even larger envelope. All that collector was interested in was the stamps, apparently, leaving me with not a clue regarding who the package was sent to. No matter.
What excited me was the exuberance of the piece. All that red and white, that beautiful face of the ubiquitous Marianne (a face that has appeared on postage stamps in France since 1944, all done by different artists; this is the only Marianne created by a woman artist — Eve Luquet). And then all those circular cancellation marks — so fun to see.
This envelope or package was sent from Limoges/Corgnac in 2006.
About Carol Leigh
I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
