Mosses

Today I looked at some art. I was left unfulfilled at the time. Now it's hours later, and I'm beginning to feel something in my lower toe. There was one piece I saw that struck me as different. I can't place my finger on it. Maybe it was the line quality or the washed-out color values. Regardless, I feel changed, and hopeful about our future. I feel relieved, and less doubtful about a healthcare scare. But something about this piece makes me feel like rolling around in moss.

Dear Internet:

Collaboration via 1998-99

My fellow community shares many things. For instance, our surrounding environment becomes an interesting canvas if one simply opens ones eyes. If your willing to work over the previous layer of meaning, it too enters a discourse with surrounding space, markings, intentions, etc. until the waves of meaning congeal, transforming the visual into the new statement, forever responding to the previous. to paraphrase.

Mail art sent to KAD at SAIC.

This was included with a letter to a friend, and is an exercise in disassembling, abstracting, and game-playing.



Front and back view of the folded envelope.




































Front and back views of the envelope, unfolded. Notice the torn opening at the top and the appearance of an object inside, seen through the view window ...




































This little guy slides out the top. You can see a flap on the left side.


















With the side flap opened ...


















And on the obverse, where the side flap has become a tab ...


















To open upward ...




































And slide out of its holder. Note that eight red shapes have appeared so far ...






































Which becomes important in figuring out why the following eight cutouts are also in the holder. If matched up to the correct red shape, each cutout fits pretty close to the line drawing, forming a completed image of a woman's lower torso in red tights.


















This is the negative of the cut out torsos, with a bluescreen'd background that reminds me of Smurfette trying on Papa's pants. It doesn't come in the mail with the other portions, but it's neat and procedurally educative.


















And finally, the ad that started the project.
