Mail art no. 10

Mail art

Two-sided piece submitted as part of the Millenium Mail Art Project created by David Forcier. Corrugated board decorated with paint on front, black writing and Canadian Postage on back. An abstract expressionist painting on rough-edged paper features thick, layered brushstrokes in dark blues, greens, blacks, and rust reds. White and black paint drips vertically from the top like melting forms or stalactites, while the lower half is dense with swirling, gestural marks that suggest waves, roots, or tangled figures. The surface feels heavy and tactile, with a moody, turbulent atmosphere and no clearly defined subject. Part of the Millenium Mail Art Project. Mail art recipient: Sticker Dude.
