À propos du livre
This catalogue is a record of collages made from elements salvaged from each day's mail over a three-month period.
Delivered
I’ve attempted to transform the remnants of discarded and unanticipated mailed imagery into elegant little jewels. This series of 75 collages is intended to capture the incremental passage of time and encourage a fresh look at the incoming paper stream.
Dissected
Exploring the inherent beauty of salvaged color and form that’s been liberated, literally ripped, from its original context was both a joy and a challenge. Some days the postal pickings were slim, other days potential ingredients were abundant, and on a few sad days (and Sundays), there was nothing in the mailbox. No mail, no collage.
Reimagining form
On March 1 the only item in the mailbox addressed to me was a postcard from Bed Bath and Beyond! It was an inauspicious start to this series of compositional challenges, which grew more interesting to me as the days progressed… an extraordinary project as a whole.
