A Blog for Heike Sackmann - "Mail Art Babes"

The second of Heike's Mail Art Babes arrived from Germany on 11th November 2010.


Soon after joining IUOMA I received Heike's first Mail Art Babe


Erni Barr commented a while back that Heike's work was similar in style to Hannah Hoch's. I agree - these collages are quite edgy. I asked Heike about her work - she wrote this in reply -
"The mail-art Babes represent all mail-art artists. Each artist is unique = Each Mail-Art-babe is unique.
Anonymity + infinite variety of artistic expressions = Mail-Art-Babe
The different colors, patterns and sizes should reflect this diversity.

Thoughts - I hope there are not so much thoughts in my work.
When I draw, paint, ... - I do not thinking - I only draw, I only paint...!
These moments are devoted to freedom.

Art is a place of freedom"
ABSOLUTELY Heike, sometimes the only place! AND Heike has promised me Mail Art Babe number three - thanks Heike.
