Mail art no. 9

Mail art

Two-sided paper piece as part of the Millenium Mail Art Project. Handmade paper decorated with paints on front and back. Canadian postage stamps affixed to front.

The piece consists of both sides of a single, irregularly cut and creased paper artwork. One side features a mixed-media drawing of a face rendered in loose lines and muted washes of color, with areas of red, yellow, and gray. The reverse side serves as an addressed mail art envelope, painted with a black and blue background and handwritten text in light blue ink reading:
[return address]“Nancy Griswold
561 Sam de Champlain
Boucherville, QU, J4B 6B6

[address] Millenium Mail Art Project
Ragged Edge Press
102 Sutton Street
New York, NY 10038, USA.”

A 46-cent Canadian postage stamp showing a red maple leaf flag appears in the upper right corner. The paper shows signs of wear, including tears and creases along the edges.
