Description
Three-dimensional piece submitted as part of the Millenium Mail Art Project. Particle board with paper overlay. Decorated with black marker on front and back. Canadian postage stamps affixed.
These three views show the two faces and the side of a particle board piece. One side contains a black-ink drawing, and the other side displays handwritten mailing information and postage.
The illustrated side is filled with a dense black-and-white ink drawing made of bold outlines, dotted patterns, and radiating segments. The composition includes an abstract profile of a face, curved cables, and mechanical or tool-like shapes extending toward the center.
The address side is made of plain brown cardboard with handwritten text in dark ink. The sender information reads:
“Philippe Roussel
668 des Vikings
Boucherville, Qc
J4B 7B4.”
The recipient information reads:
“Millenium Mail Art Project
Ragged Edge Press
102 Fulton Street
New York, NY
10038, USA.”
Four Canadian 46-cent stamps featuring the Canadian flag are affixed in the upper right corner.
