Just for SQUARES!

14.11.20 Dare Ms. Mim G. S.,  ...all best wishes for the"Squares" group ...& as has already been established in numerous writings, the artist Ray Johnson studied with Josef Albers at BMC.  It was also  Ray Johnson that  made the observation that Albers was buried in Orange, Connecticut, Best to all concerned , Rixhard

Albers and the Chicago Art Institute..ah yes, I have memories of the "square" times! Thanks for making this new group, Mim, and thanks for the inspiration...

Red Virus "squared" for holiday greetings :-)

A "square" from SHMUEL in Vermont:

Randomness-drop them and see where they land. 

Found a book cover full of squares..... 

As noted previously, a happy accident on my studio table and a decision to be made, circles or squares - posting in both groups, of course.

 Janus asked 

- Can a square dance?

This is my answer:

Circles, squares, dance - yes, I'm all in. I was always told to stay away from Janus but....

Oh! sorry, Mel Anie, I have given you the idea that 'dancing square' is Janus' current project. I am afraid it is not! But this is

No reason why we could not put it in a square, though, being thrifty.

Haha, Martha, this looks great. I could send him my two faces (or not)!!!!

Yes MelAnie, it will be brilliant, wish i had thought of it.

Going through small tins on my work table, I came across the one that I keep old loyalty cards, membership cards, old phone cards from France & Turkey, Remember Phone cards? oh my. I kept them for students to use as burnishers when I gave my collage workshops. I found this one, Malevich, homage to the square, maybe not the title, oh will we ever get up to New York City again, to MoMA? 

Mim, I am interested in this phone card burnishing technique. Is it the rounded edge or the straight edge that you use? I have been to York but not the New one.

Thanks, Mim.

I used the "let the squares fall where they may" method, then glued in place. They are Gravity, Direction, and Concentration or Congestion. You decide.

Square selvages, too :-)

Mikel, I really like your response 

Gracias Mikel Untzilla

Beginning with an old "inchie" hand carved rubber stamp. Then applying 4 impressions on a 2" by 2" square and adding a bit of red.

Thank you so much everyone for adding Squares! They are so Square! Delightfully square!

Three ATC inchies (Available)

Ah, Tyler Hannigan, Inchies are so perfectly square!! Nice.

Hello all, and especially Mim ! You'll get (soon I hope) a suprize from the "atelier d'art postal de La Chevalerie", a group of people who start practicing mail-art with me. They'll be honored if you mail back (about squares, of course) !
