About this work

This is a green-and-beige card with printed text and a blurred, smudged image of what looks like a ship or boat. The words say things like *"Thank you for your communication"* and *"We are getting your range,"* but they’re hard to read. The background of the ship is messy, like ink splatters or a faded stamp. The text sounds like a mix of a thank-you note and military radio talk. It’s not a real photo—it’s printed, with that cheap, slightly faded look. If you like weird, text-heavy art, check out Ian Hamilton Finlay, John Borg Manduca.
