USPS ART PROJECT | PHILADELPHIA + DENVER

November, 2020

Collaboration during a pandemic doesn’t really sound like it would be a thing. But it was. I asked Donna Quinn to join me in creating work for this project. We had such a good time that we made two pieces for two shows, then we invited Peter Cunicelli to join us for a third.

The USPS Art Project is a mail art collaboration project created by Christina Massey, free and open for anyone who wants to participate. The goal is for unique collaborative artworks to be created, while helping the USPS by sending and receiving packages. Hundreds of artists have joined in the project, creating sculpture, paintings, drawings, mixed media, fiber art and more.

Art Gym Denver

The first colab @donnaquinnpaintings and I worked on for the @uspsartproject went to the @artgymdenver. I was trying to push myself outside the proverbial comfort zone by using a photograph alongside some UFO’s but finally gave up and went for the spray paint. Mixed with needlepoint and Donna’s deconstructed paintings we found a common ground. And for you non-knitters, sewers, crocheters... UFO = unfinished objects!
