My best friend and Visual Artist Cristina Minacori literally pushed me at the end of 2007 to participate in two Mail Art Calls: one from Greece and another one from Malaysia. I was in the USA at that time and she e-mail me until I did two works and I sent them...
Seven months later, I saw the Mail Art Call from Joan Desmond, and I thought: This is so cool! I have to do this!!!
Since then, I couldn´t stop. Perhaps, the visit to Rick Daddario´s Studio was the biggest influence of all! You have to see his stamps!!
... and now I am into Mail Art because it makes me happy...
WHY?
I dont know!
Is a healty addiction, a way to travel all over the world and know people that other wise I could never ever had the chance to meet...I feel really ignorant that I didnt know about the existence of Mail Art before...
Maybe because I wasnt ready to enjoy it the way I do it now!
THE WORLD IS PURE DIVERSITY
- Mirta Toledo
- Searching for my identity while living in the USA I discovered the beauty within the diversity of the Human Race. To show it in my artwork originated different series. Recently I discovered Mail Art, and I am traveling the world inside envelopes. In this way I get in contact with people and their art, ideas, geography, that I wont get to know otherwise... Here are the pictures of my journey on "those trips". COPYRIGHT ©2008-2009 Mirta Toledo. All rights reserved. Text and artwork on this site are property of Mirta Toledo.
