Pop Letter : To Stuart Allen, sky artist (no date)

This was a letter to Stuart Allen, artist and fellow brother of the sky…

« Stuart,

Call me Tal.

In recent years, I've realized that the thing which ties everything i do and am interested in, is the sky itself.

I suspect that the vast majority of the kite community don't get past the kite, more profoundly (that may not be the appropriate word) into the sky, wind, rain, the stars, moon, putting a little tiny thing up there in that situation, holding onto a line that is transforming that information back down to their hand. That's pretty much where I am with kites. They occupy a niche (an important one) and provide me with a childlike grasp of time, dirt and grass, and wind, throwing balls up there, flying kites and the like. »
