Part of most days is devoted to mail art. People ask me what mail art is and I tell them it's art that travels through the post. For me it is that other kind of art that makes me laugh and work obsessively, often purposelessly, although sometimes conceptually. It is a different space for me and an essential one. These two envelopes are going out today and I am dying to make some more in this 'style' later.
I usually work in styles, or series in mail art. These I'm calling 'unsealed envelopes' and the envelopes are made from life drawings I no longer need, and they have bespoke two sided fused plastic collages inside. I have made the labels in a similar to the way I make my business cards with 'trash' fused plastic and clear labels. Obviously I have obscured the addresses with a bit of washi tape to keep people anonymous.
Below are the actual contents of the two envelopes in all their sides.
