Art gone postal by YellowBear

June 6th, 2007 2:42 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make a piece of art…
Apply proper postage.
Mail it to The Envelope Collective

I had a really good time with this one! I got a little swept up in the meticulous nature of this task and I ended up producing three pieces. I think I am really only satisfied with the third, but lets say I took one to stretch out my art mind, one to warm up my scissors and then one to pull it all together. The first envelope is a simple black pen drawing, a sort of extended doodle that has been in my artistic arsenal since middle school. Cool looking but of little content, and thus possibly not "Art" at all For the second two pieces I decided to do collage. The fist collage envelope if taken all from photos snipped out of the April/May issue of "Learning Annex" and the second collage piece is all snippets from the May 28 - Jun 5th (?) Guardian. I tried to keep the images large enough to get all of the details, but without being too ridiculous to upload. I encourage you to click on the images to scope out all the nooks and crannies (sp?). I hope you enjoy, I certainly had fun making them. I think that they might start getting a letter or two a week from me down at The Envelope Collective. My commentary will be a little rambly on the captions, its getting late after all, but I don't want to let it sit till morning. All analysis of meaning is from reflection after the fact, certainly not from any type of intention. I do not presume to understand such things. Please take a moment or two to let each of the three settle in up close, I think its worth it, I worked hard. Once you make them +larger, you can click on each one to see them BIG

For those with philosophical inclinations and interest, I steer you to the destruction of meaning

I'm sure you brought many post office employees a moment of pause and a much needed dose of color and design. imagine their collective gratitude.
