The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by Boomerang Media on behalf of the Surrey Institute of Art and Design. The following is printed on the back of the card:
"1998 Graduate Exhibitions.
Photographed by Michael
Abrahams."
The photographer is standing on a case that presumably contained her camera and other equipment. The top is bending slightly under her weight.
