Footnotes

The first card is inscribed by the artist:

"Many times I have thought why do I make these things, little flower creatures, beautiful giraffe people, long stemmed turtle songs and then I realise how many sweet beautiful people there are and how many rooms and doors and coffee cups they have in their lives and how I want to fill those spaces with beautiful colours and glittery pollen and love...happy birthday Benjy here's another flower...love Wangechi!"

The second card reads:

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Benjamin

Here's a little fun thing to organise your fun life!!

Wangechi"
