Returning to Mail Art

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 electricity, gotten married and had children, worked in a variety of places etc etc.

Now I'm in Canberra and retired with lots of time at my disposal. And I discover Mail Art is still a vibrant platform for creativity and connection. I'm loving the deadlines each project imposes on me while I do my other exhibition work. I love seeing everyone's take on a theme. I'm brewing up an idea to have my own call out to artists but have yet to come up with a theme, exhibition venue etc.

It will happen one day...it will happen.
