.About the work: Postcard 1 is taken from the painting "Silent Voices". The monument marking the grave of Oscar Wilde is the recipient  of many lip motifs, rendered in lipstick by devotees kissing the stone. The five sets of lips in the work adjacent were recorded on Monday 10th of November 2008, 11.42am in the Cimetiere Du Pere Lachaise Paris. They document the debt felt to Wilde's art ( the silent voices) by their authors; placed into the world for an audience with humanity. Confronted with mortality viewers hear their own silent voices contemplating the complex relationships between our adulation of greatness, celebrity, and feelings of longing, hope and despair. These intense feelings when articulated are diminished; the lips enable us to better hear the ‘silent voices’ within. The Rose in La Vie en Rose was located on the grave of Edith Piaf on the same day.
