About this work

This is a torn, yellowed envelope with a simple black-and-white drawing. Inside, there are three panels showing a lantern with circles and dots. The text says "LANTERN EXTRACT" and "an aspect of YAM FESTIVAL." The address is written in messy handwriting: P.O. Box 412, Metuchen, N.J. The envelope looks old and worn, like it was sent through the mail. The drawing is basic—just shapes and lines—but it’s part of an art piece meant to be mailed. If you like this kind of odd, everyday art, check out George Brecht, Robert Watts.
