Mapping Correspondence NYC, 3rd Entry

Encaustic / Mail Art

In my continuing need to correspond with the greater universe I once in a while do a random set of mailings . . this set of post card size works went to 2 earth work sculptors that I admire, R. Long and P. Dougherty. I have often kept elements of tests or made pieces that will sit around the studio for some time . . eventually they make their way into the world in one form or another.
