The Artist in Seine, if you aren't familiar with his work, sends 'unclothed' oddly shaped, repurposed objects through the postal system, as mail art. In the past when I was exchanging with him regularly, I found myself curious about what would get through the postal system because it was as if I had this little voice telling me, Do it! Dean would do it. I was always looking for things that could work as mail art. Once I made a booby body that I sent to Vizma. It was very large and slightly embarrassing for the postal staff in Australia.So, getting this pinepple from Dean is absolutely perfect and I have begun looking at objects differently, again.
I like it this way too. It seems to have a face. It becomes a totem figure or a silly bird. but I wonder if the hand is voting. Which state is that?
I scanned Dean's mail onto black so I'm not sure if it does the barcodes through the haptic holes any justice. They are coloured too. This all makes me long for a plane ride, to gather up some mardi gras beads and to drink a pina colada. Thank you Dean. Send me a message on IUOMA if you've moved.
