City Mail's Closing Show at Struts Gallery in Sackville, New Brunswick

Drove down to Sackville New Brunswick, about a two hour drive form where I live with two friends.

City Mail's Alison just finished off a residency at Struts Gallery. She spent her residency encouraging the locals of the town to write mail to each other and then she delivered it.

Hi Katie!!!



Behind Katie, you can see the map of the town, with indications of all the mail delivered.

We spent the night reading, laughing, dancing in kitchens, smoking smokes, and sending mail.

I was supposed to post this so long ago.

One of these days....

An endless game of catch-up.
At least it's a fun game!

Can't put them in order anymore, so I'll just spew it all out.



For Courtney Brook


This envelope may not look very "mail-art-y" but I can assure you, the insides are both beautiful and artistic.


For Kiera in California, an old mail pal from swap-bot. I got this envelope from a dump box in my friend's studio. Check out the beautiful back:

The most beautiful envelope in the whole world.

(Semi) Recently Received Mail

Here's a few fave things that I've received recently and wanted to share with you.



Oh, the colours. From Rae in Cali!


MT has been sending my most favourite collages. The colour combinations and shapes are right up my alley.


You wouldn't believe the texture on this postcard.


I am not quite sure who sent me this mystery postcard! Can anyone help me out here?


Great and weird artwork from Miss M. Turner


This half and half envelope from Kiera caught my attention in the mailbox. I love these colours together.


A fascinating postcard from Kam. I think this mix of materials is awesome.


From Emilie!

I can't keep track

I really can't. I don't know what numbers these are or where they're going.
But I know I've sent them, and that's what matters most, right?

RIGHT.
