I owe it to the people who have sent me stuff. I'm not sure whether 'archive' is the word I would use - it implies something which somehow seems to go against the spirit of mail art's freely given back and forth. Archive implies that at some point there will be a monetary value attached to work which was freely given. I am not sure whether anyone can claim to 'own' the work. In some ways its beauty is its ephemeral nature - on the other hand I feel the only way to dispose of it would be to mail it on and recycle it.
