#Mailart

In June I participated in a mailart project organized on Twitter by Mark Philip Venema (aka @Art_News). The 33 participants had never met in real life, but have since become a lively community, not only exchanging art but also engaging in dialogue about our ideas, art processes and our lives.

The postcards produced, using a variety of media and evincing varied sensibilities, can be viewed on the #Mailart flickr pool. These are a few of my extra ones (because apparently I couldn’t stop at just 32).

Each piece is a relief print with colored pencils, is approximately 4x6,” and they are part of my ongoing “Theories of Evolution and Connections” series.

Here is a preview of the 32 small drawings I’m working on for a Twitter organized mailart exchange.

Obviously I draw what I think about, not what I see.
