Love Letters Lost 

between strangers
.

We asked artists, writers, postal carriers, husksters, and locomotive engineers to compose a love letter, which was then hand delivered to a perfect stranger in a clandestine manner.

.

Because love is sneaky like that.
.
.

.

You love your kids, you loved your Toyota, you love Obama, you love God, you love poetry, you love David Lynch. It's everywhere, ambiguous, full of nothing- as in tennis (score of love).

We are convinced that this will be a revealing experiment for both writers and recipients.  Each letter included a blank postcard for response.

How would you feel if you received a love letter from a stranger?
