In his essay, "Pushing the envelope: Mail Art and the Michaels," Simon Anderson writes that both "Thomson and Hernandez de Luna paresent a sophisticated twist on this variegated [mail art] history, combining the random markers of official passage with a deliberate manipulation of the aesthetic involved; their small scale prints, connected to tahe much denser history of printmaking, dovetail at various points - inclusing teamwork, political humor nad tricksterism - with the fragmentary origins of art-through-the-mail, as this brief survey hopes to indicate." The illustrations depict the fake stamps and the cancelled stamps on envelopes indicating that the stamps went through the mail. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
