‘Three Postcards from a Feeling, after Mariette Perrinjacquet’ (2025) is a series of postcards created during the Sapphic Seventh writing mentorship program with Seventh Gallery facilitated by writer Ange Crawford and funded by Lesbians Inc.

It draws inspiration from Perrinjacquet’s anti-war postcards and revolves around a theory/perspective I made up one time where, alongside time and space, ‘a feeling’ can also be a place that can be shared or returned to.

Sometimes you are next to someone physically in time and space, but feel disconnected. Sometimes you are together with someone in time and space, and also in a feeling, and you can feel closer because of the proximity you share in that additional plane. In those moments, you might say, “I enjoyed that very much. Can you meet me again at this feeling another time?”

As ‘a feeling’ is not tied to time and space, one can meet another at a feeling from across those planes. Sappho may write a feeling she has found into a poem: words as an emotional roadmap, a set of instructions – and we may use those instructions to meet her at that feeling hundreds of years later, in a Sapphic writing workshop in Richmond. Additionally, as a feeling transcends physicality, we may meet ourselves at a feeling: sharing with our past and future selves across time, keeping each other company.

‘Three Postcards From a Feeling, after Mariette Perrinjacquet’ contains roadmaps to three feelings: a feeling from the past, a feeling that is current, and a hope for a feeling of the future.

The series can be found in Seventh Gallery’s publication ‘Sapphic Seventh’ alongside the works of seven incredibly talented writers and artists, with an introduction by Ange Crawford. The publication was paired with an exhibit wherein writers and artists painted on and covered the walls of Seventh Gallery with art relating to their pieces.
