OUR MAILBOX No. 2

USPS SERIES- Our Mailbox No.2 -- is Fusion art (from my photos and paintings converted via digital rendering) in an abstract/modern expressionist piece . It is part of an "activist" series meant to support the US POSTAL SERVICRE and was created right here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina.

It began with the story of Benjamin Franklin, the first Postmaster General of the USA-- and a PHOTO of a flag flying outside my studio!

THANK YOU for looking and considering my art work and images. Your time and your comments are prized.




It tells a story of one of the most beloved institutions of democracy and the citizens of the USA. This image and the entire series invites your interpretation.

** How it Came Together: Asked to do an opinion piece for The Sage Companion Project, I re-read Timothy Snyder's ON TYRANNY. In it he points out, “The precedent set by the Founders demands that we examine history to understand the deep sources of tyranny, and to consider the proper responses to it.” ~ Timothy Snyder, Professor of History, Yale University

To accompany the written piece, I created a number of visual narratives seen here.

THANK YOU for looking and considering my art work and images. Your time and your comments are prized.






SYMBOLISM:: The juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change ... the journey to new perspectives. Represented here is a story of connection. May this piece become an impetus for change with compassion.


METHOD:: I create visual narratives exploring any number of alternative techniques to achieve a shared sense , with you, of being “in the moment” -- (composite and/or multiple layering of images-photo-manipulation and finally digital rendering)—


From what is around me, I take my sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor via texture, patterns, repetition - a feeling of lyrical abstraction of elements offering a sense of collaboration - a collection of concepts and forms taking shape.


PHILOSOPHY: “NOT AN IMAGE BUT AN EXPERIENCE”--
As we - each of us- (and as a collection of living creatures) - face the fraught process of selection every day- may we find what is positive and possible.

HISTORY:: On July 26, 1775, the U.S. Postal System was established. The first Postmaster General was Benjamin Franklin. In 1753, Benjamin Franklin made numerous improvements to the mail system and debuted the first rate chart, which standardized delivery costs based on distance and weight. Today, the USPS has over 40,000 post offices and the postal service delivers 212 billion pieces of mail each year to over 144 million homes and businesses in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the American Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

The postal service is the nation’s largest civilian employer, with roughly 500,000 career workers. The postal service is a not-for-profit, self-supporting agency that covers its expenses through postage and related products.

The postal service gets the mail delivered, rain or shine, using everything from planes to mules.
