Layers of time at Letchworth

Lost Letchworth Postcard, 4”x6” mixed media on board
Imagine a postcard lost in time since the 1970’s and finally arriving in your mailbox in the 21st Century.  Okay, that’s an exaggeration.  But I am experimenting with image transfers and used a copy of a photo of my brother in Western New York’s Letchworth State Park.  We always stayed in Area C where we rented a cabin.  The same cabins that were built by our grandfather’s Civilian Conservation Corps crew during the 1930’s.  There are a lot of layers of material and time in this little piece.
