This work is going to Gallery Connexion, in Fredericton New Brunswick, for a mail art fundraiser to help them acquire a new gallery space. The challenge was for artists to create works of arts on postcards, envelopes, or parcels that will go up for auction on February 14th, at a local cafe in the city.
I returned to old work for inspiration upon finding a small unfinished canvas in my studio with a relief of a bird fossil which I took apart and attached to the tube.
And becuase it feels really stupid to send a completely empty tube, I'm enclosing some offerings - insence, dried ferns and bones.
Artifying an actual shipping tube was a lot more interesting than those little pre-fabricated watercolour postcards you can buy at the art shop!
If you want to participate, check out the Gallery Connexion website for more details.
Yo yo, it's Owlex. I'm totally going to be watching your blog because I feel deprived of you in my life. This looks totally awesome by the way, I have such a fascination with animal skeletons and anatomy so your art fills me with delight.
