Folding An Idea






Ray Johnson the father on modern mail art once said, "When I make mail art, it a matter of folding the piece down, folding and collapsing the concept so it fits into an envelope." This is the newer approach I've begun and somewhat like Johnson standardizing the size onto a typical sheet of typing paper. I was working in postcards for a long time but have returned to a more traditional collage technique and moved away from a completely digital approach. Here, the parts and pieces of the "Superbus" project.

  1. This is a particular favorite. As I do not know if I seem to follow this piece around or it follows me. And yet, every-time there is another component to ponder...to open

  2. After this, the envelope it traveled in. I have to careful how I post these. I find myself not catching mistakes or wanting to phrase something differently after the initial post. Each time I edit it, those on the mailing list get each of the versions. I'd like to cut down, stop that.
