First of all I would like to apologize for my absence in the MAIL ART world, but on the last months I was working in other Art projects. Soon i will start to send some pieces to some mail artists that…

CONDITIONS PARTICULIERES:

There are many wonderful layers to this piece of mail art. From the old original and mysterious documents to the…

Folks, I am happy to announce that Trash Bubbles are making a splash in the world!

When I first began creating these self-contained ecospheres of trash for my…

Many of you are aware that Life, as it is wont to do, really knocked me for a loop in recent months!

In order to scale back commitments and maintain what little sanity I had left, I am sad to say that I let my communications here at IUOMA wane.

It seems as though LIFE as I know it is returning to normal (just before the Holidays threaten to consume!) With that in mind, I am taking this opportunity to return virtual correspondence and send many thanks out to all who took the…

Thank…

I asked Alicia extend the mythology of the Bhubesi Women - The Women Who Hold Up the World, and MAN did she just.  No-one knows quite where they came from – except that they exist.   Margaret Barsage Cebar was one – that’s why Alicia knows.  They tumble through time, cutting holes in the clouds.

You may know some of them, or dream of them, they operate in non-linear…

I might stop documenting my mail out once the novelty has worn off, but right now I am having a blast. Here are some envelopes featuring my first selfmade rubber stamps.
