This is an ongoing project combining my love of the postal service, surveys, giving things away, easel-painting, and strangers. The post-painting project began in the fall of 2006 with the creation of an application form which I mailed to everyone whose email address I had and encouraged them to forward and spread around.
The goal of this project is two- or three-fold: To present paintings to as wide and diverse a public as possible. To bypass traditional and limiting ways of engaging with paintings. And to supplement/prod my own studio practice in a format which generates rapid and various possibilities of painting.
This project is partially supported by a 2007 Community Arts Assistance Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
Please note: Due to demand, I am currently not accepting new applications for paintings
