I have a side project where I cast small plaster skulls, number them, and leave them in random spots around the city for people to find. It's not Mail Art of course, it's more like Street Art....but I prefer to think of it as Guerrilla Art.

I've been thinking about hosting a Mail Art event and wondering what the theme, exhibition location etc could be.

First started Mail Art back in the 1980s - well before the Internet. Everything was by snail mail. You'd send off your work into the void and maybe a couple of months later you'd receive a catalogue. As a teenager that was exciting. Now of course connecting is so much easier. And I'm not sure why I haven't reconnected sooner!
Between then and now I graduated from art school, travelled the world, exhibited my work here and there, lived in a shack in the bush of Tasmania with no…
