the show came down

A couple shots from the de-installation of Post Haste, a group show of art inspired by the modern infrastructural decay of the USPS not to be confused with "mail art". i made a totem pole, an American symbol that parallels the "out with the old in with the new" mentality of modern correspondence, crammed with mail from the years past. inspired from the idiom "bottom of the totem pole", the lowest drawers were filled with two months of saved junk mail and the top drawer is filled with the sweetest letters from grandmas. Thank you Jayna for inviting me to be apart of this.
