Home from Vacation



After a few weeks of fun down in Mexico, I came home to a big pile of mail. It wasn’t just junk mail and bills, there was plenty of good mail art waiting for me.  The list includes Adrienne Mason’s layered collage, new mail from Argentina, a tattooed hand, an old wallpaper sample repurposed as a postcard by Jennifer Utter, and mystery food embedded and preserved under layers of tape from Pedro Bericat.  I particularly liked Punkie Ebert’s Yes We Do Care  flag postcard – in these times, it is challenging for Americans to feel patriotic about our country.  Punkie reminds us that we will keep resisting until we deliver ourselves from this disaster. Finally, some follow-up from the Beyond Beat show down in Venice that included a poster and a set of artist stamps. Below is the full list of what is shown in this post:   
  1. Adrienne Mason– Canada
  2. Punkie Ebert – California 
  3. William Mellott– Taiwan
  4. Torma Cauli– Hungary
  5. Maria Quiroga – Argentina 
  6. Kathy Barnett – Missouri
  7. Jennifer Utter – California 
  8. Pedro Bericat– Spain
  9. Gregg Biggs – Museum of Unclaimed Ephemera – California
  10. Asli Omur – California 
  11. Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center– California
