Made with images borrowed from her four-part zine (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4), Gabrielle Guy’s postcards offer a series of lyrical scenes and abstractions. Collected under Proto’s utility selection, the postcards become discrete fragments of an unseen whole; set travelling with a postal stamp, or kept as a photograph, removed from their intended image friends.
