This project was about mail art. Since the last few semesters have been completely online and, in general, COVID has kept people at a distance, sending art through the mail was especially relevant.
I made three separate post card-like mail pieces:
- Since this project was related to the ongoing pandemic, I made that the subject of my first card. I stitched different colored threads all starting from where I am now, and going to the different places in the US where I have close family that I haven’t been able to see in a year because of the pandemic. Then around the silhouette of the country, I pasted CDC guidelines.
- The second card was for my sister-in-law’s graduation from college. She didn’t get to walk or have family there because of COVID so I sent a little celebration in the mail.
- Finally, I made a card with the sketches of some of the types of birds that are outside of the window where I take my Zoom classes (my only in person classmates).
All of them were mailed.
