Guido Vermeulen and Gerson Wenglinski influenced me early on, and both artists are from Belgium.
Gerson WENGLINSKI published my visual poetry before I knew there was a term for it. Unfortunately Gerson has vanished from my radar screen and I miss him. Perhaps this tribute will bring new information on his whereabouts. The folowing quote is from the last letter I received from him. During the 90's I was widely known as 'Words of Light'.
"Words of Light shortens the distance between earth and infinity".
-Gerson Wenglinski, Artist & Publisher

Guido VERMEULEN was my 'Mail Art' mentor before I knew there was a term for that too.
