Untitled 2020 | Watercolor on paper | 5" x 7" | Collaboration with L. Renée Núñez

October 8, 2020

This past summer I participated in the USPS Art Project, a mail art and Instagram based project created by Brooklyn-based artist Christina Massey (you can read more about it here). Unlike other mail art initiatives, like the Quarantined Artist Postcard Exchange in which artists create an original art postcard and mail it to each other, or the Postcards for Democracy demonstration started by Mark Mothersbaugh and Beatie Wolfe created to show support for the USPS and that will present cards in both a physical and virtual space, the USPS Mail Art Project emphasizes collaboration between artists. Two artists pair up and each creates a base artwork and mails it to the other who then completes the piece. In the end two pieces of art are created for each pair. I did three of these with artists L. Renée Núñez, Kate Csillagi, and Bill Hamilton.

Each of the collaborations were great fun, and I hope this will become a gateway for more future collaborations. The image shown above is one of the final pieces created by Renée and me. She did the set-up for this one (see blow) and I finished it out. In the end, we traded these back to each other.
