mail spectators mass cards portraits
Carole Locke is my mother. She died at age 62 after a long and painful battle with lung cancer.
Traditionally, mass cards are sent on the anniversary of the death of a loved one. They usually contain the decesased's favorite prayer or bible verse. Sometimes they contain a request for intercession to the patron saint of the deceased.
The first card was based on a studio photograph of my mom. I thought of her as the patron of the artist. She was very encouraging to my and my friends - she was a great lover of art and the people who made it. In the Cleveland Museum of Art, she said to me "I think that God made the artist because there are things He wants them to see." I used this as her prayer on the card and on 26 April, 2005 I mailed these cards to artist friends and people who loved her.
