Confessions of a Ship and Altered Dictionary grew out of an on-going mail art exchange with Vanessa Woods and myself begun in 2011. The two collaborative books: one in a Victorian album, the other in a small dictionary fit perfectly in a wooden cigar box.
Below are examples of mail art exchanged between Catie O'Leary and Vanessa Woods sent through the U.S. Postal Service.
