Unsent Letters: Art Book Pages
Explorations in Art Journals and Altered Books
The art of the unsent letter has, without a doubt, been a successful therapeutic practice for years. Let's spin it into some therapeutic art.
There's a time in everyone's life where the need to reach out, cleanse, or release something is very important. Often times, these actions need to be directed at a particular person, group of people, or cause. When the words can't be spoken, or the fear of how they'll be received is present, an unsent letter is very useful.
What is an unsent letter?
An unsent letter is a tool used to express feelings that otherwise couldn't be expressed verbally or in a sent letter. These communications are typically written without the recipient's knowledge, allowing for the writer to purge feelings, emotions, and thoughts freely. Unsent letters are also useful when people want to resolve a situation or seek closure when it wouldn't necessarily be appropriate.
