Mail art no. 74

Mail art

One-sided mail art piece, created by Ira Director, that entails a white sheet of paper decorated with blue, white, red, and black paint, and layered with collage elements such as stickers, found objects, and ink print typed and stamped text. Text fragments include “PASSION CREATION,” “YOUTH & MAIL ART,” “EXHIBITION,” and various postal stamps and addresses such as “Director Kibbutz Gezer, ISRAEL 73220” and “Hombeek Belgium.” Several overlapping ink stamps and printed symbols appear throughout, with portions of Hebrew text faintly visible in the background. The colorful paint splatters cross diagonally over the page, creating a chaotic overlay on the postal and textual elements beneath. Mail art recipient: Luce Fierens.
