Letters to the Ocean

Paper, Ink & Stamps
2003-2015

Every day for twelve years, I sent a letter to the Pacific Ocean. The letters were returned by the US Postal Service with markings indicating that “no such place exists.” I have over 3,000 returned letters which I have exhibited at various points.

1,100 letters on display in spring 2008
