About this work

This is a handwritten letter in black ink on lined paper. The words are cramped but clear, filling almost every line. The writer mentions a green dress and a specific airport arrival time. At the bottom, there’s a small black-and-white photo of a person’s face, taped in the corner. The letter is signed “Shigeko Kubota,” and it’s addressed to someone named George Maciunas. The paper has a few smudges and looks like it was folded and carried around. Look up Shigeko Kubota to see more of her work.
