mail art

Two-sided piece submitted for the Youth and Mail Art Project by creator Robin Crozier. Piece includes a white envelope decorated with stickers, writing, rubber stamp ink, and British postage stamps. The back of the envelope has rubber ink stamps affixed. These images document a piece of international mail art sent by Robin Crozier from Sunderland, England, to Luce Fierens in Belgium. The interior mail art features a whimsical collage of four babies in colorful outfits arranged around a central “horizon” line. Each figure is labeled with compass directions and the word “FLYING” written in blue ink., evoking playful motion and navigation. and emphasizing fragility and movement, including “GLASS WITH CARE” and airmail stickers. The back of the envelope bears Crozier’s return address and a “POET WORLD” stamp, situating the work within the global mail art network of the late 20th century, where postal exchange itself served as creative expression. Mail art recipient: Luce Fierens.
