Dear George W. Hart,
I checked out your website and it's pretty cool. You have a lot of neat stuff on there. I wish my office looked like yours, but unfortunately I'm not creatively inclined.
So I thought I'd send you a letter and you could do something cool to it and send it back (or send me one you've written on your own). I thought maybe you could cut a piece of paper into a mobile or fold it in on itself in some way that defies physics like you did to that bagel!
Please sign the completed work so I can prove to people that I have an authentic George W. Hart hanging in my cubical!
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
My reaction:
Sometimes I have a fear that if the subject of one of these letters actually figured out what was up I’d be considered an asshole, then I remember I don’t care what other people think, and the only person that’s figured it out before replying (that I know of) offered to be my lawyer, so I think this is an unreasonable fear. All the same, I like to imagine that if George W. Hart would have goggled my name before replying I would have actually gotten my letter sent back as a mobile.
For fuck’s sake this man turns bagels into mobius strips!
Anyway, check out his site, his art, and send him lots of mail!
