Early in the Pandemic, Brooklyn, NY-based artist, Christina Massey, began to collaborate with her artist friends, each sending beginnings of works to each other to complete. In addition to trying to recapture a feeling of normalcy and maintain an art community connection during a time of isolation when the world was shut down, she was also doing a form of Mail Art. This time, however, the mailed art was intended to specifically support the Postal System while the former president was actively working to sabotage the system.
I was already going to the Post Office regularly to send off the many masks I was making for specific people (by now at least 100), I am a fan of Mail Art in general,  and I was as upset as Massey was about what was happening politically, so I decided to reach out to some people, and eventually to participate in her project. It turned out to be a saving grace for me during that time, and it helped me get back to my own work (in progress). The images here include a “start” from my artist friend with the result that I completed and sent to selected shows that Massey organized.
