Chucked through the atmosphere by Jon Foster, USA--The Blue Planet

The tape n peel technique continues in this nifty mail art by Jon. He used an old NASA post card whose title and description lends a cosmic tone to this piece. I like the text and the muscles melded in there, and not a speck of blue to be seen. Gracias Jon…

Marie has been very quiet - nice to see you back :-)

This is Marie's contribution to The World is a Town Project.  I confess to being a little stymied?? But, I'm keen on keeping everything intact and green - the starry world of the un-intact goat. Thanks Marie - good to hear from you…

2011 and Beyond

Back from self imposed exile as I complete a number of projects.  Imagine my surprise when Keith Buchholz requested that I contribute to an upcoming FLUXUS event in Chicago at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art).

 

It's been a busy year for me as an artist and I have greatly enjoyed my mail art and fluxus explorations. Attached is a showcase of my work that I shall play, pending approval, at the MCA.  Many thanks,…
