Description
Mail art piece, created by Ficus Strangulensis, consisting of a collage-style mailing envelope decorated with artist stamps, warning labels, cut-out phrases, and bold graphics including Dr. Pepper (TM) cardboard packaging and electrical tape with U.S. postage stamps affixed creating a chaotic, punk-zine aesthetic. The contents are pieces of paper, one a typewritten letter dated December 2000, the other a handwritten note, with red-backed playing cards, a torn record label, casino matchbooks, and a coffee coupon in a mixed-media collage. Mail art recipient: Baron.
