Provoking Mail-Art

The last months, actually years, I haven't sent out that much mail-art at all. Only specific addresses (personal friends) get a lot of mail, and the mail-art I still get in (mostly from newcomers who are looking for new contacts) rarely provokes me to react. I not looking for new penpals.

Sometimes there are exceptions though. Provoking Mail-Art arrives in my P.O. Box and my mind starts to think about possible ways to react. That is mostly the start of an adventure, a piece of mail-art that gets out.

Seems I have seen too much, so I am not that easily provoked to react. Some new mail-artist actually like to provoke, but when it is too obvious, the result is mostly negative.

It is a pitty. But art attracts me more the last years than mail-art...... Most close friends know, since I have painted a lot these last years.
