Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois)

Dark, cryptical and scary. Just the way I like it. KC continues to create the most evocative and personal art with blood and memory intertwined. String has figured in a number of my most recent acqusitions.

What is the uiverse…

Received: Assemblage mail-art from Karen Champlin (Chicago, Illinois, USA)

October 7, 2010 - Karen Champlin sent me a new set of her mail-art assemblages, which I appreciate very much. It just seems to me her work gets better and better. In a previous blog, I discussed at length the relation of her work to vispo. Her use of textual material becomes increasingly more diverse and complex. This piece is the first example of something I've received from her that… Continue

Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois) - MANY THX!!!

ART NATION - Karen Champlin has sent me another signature piece bound in thread and full of partial images and textural detail. The continuing themes of isolation, restriction and blood abound - with the stamp "BOY" added. Who is this child? He appears happy but…

Received: Karen Champlin's (Mail) Art Nation (Chicago School, USA)

September 3, 2010 - Karen Champlin and I joined the IUOMA about three months ago, only days apart if not on the same day. She was one of my first friends, and it has been a joy watching her art evolve and blossom. I saw her earliest pieces as posts on this site. My first reaction was that they were assemblages of…

Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois)

Art Nation (Karen Champlin) sends me a second mailing - SANCTUARY - Latin text secured with brads to corrugated card. Marked CONFIDENTIAL - and sealed in a stamped and padded envelope (not shown), KC reminds us again the ART IS LONG, LIFE IS SHORT and continues to keep her prodigious talents at work. As I learn more and more about MA and contribute to the movement, I am bolstered by the work of KC and others - as we explore the various worlds, demands and needs of ourselves and others. BRAVO!… Continue

Received MA - Karen Champlin (Illinois) - Art is Long, Life is Short

Hand stamped and decorated package from KC - complete with Latin Quote for "Art is Long, Life is Short." Admirable work. The enclosure (on corrugated cardboard) is a wrapped stake of sorts - evoking a variety of responses. Hand stamped typography - "We…

KC has sent me a beautiful piece adorned with a key and signed by her. A lovely piece of art and I am touched by the amount of work and effort that went into it. Truly unique.

The added artistry on the envelope is an added bonus. KC does great work and I'm thrilled to add it to my collection. Many thanks,… Continue

Received: Vispo/assemblage from Karen Champlin (Chicago, USA)

7.19.2010: I recently received this incredible piece from Karen Champlin. The scan does not do it justice. I don't know if the images were found or inscribed by Karen, but they are incredibly ornate and detailed. Not only does she know I like vispo, she knows exactly the style I like. This one I'll cherish. Thank you KC!…

The Midwest is being inundated with a heatwave right now. Thank God for the air conditioning. KC has made another FANTASTIC mixed-media piece that I just loved. Jackson Pollack stamp, hand letterd in white on black art card with a cover of multiple art elements. Beautiful work, KC and very inspirational. Many thanks,…
