These images are from a project undertaken in the early 2000s, the idea being; to create a forged one off painting of a vintage postcard in a photorealistic style to the exact size of the original postcard. I had intended that it would be unrecognisable as an illustration unless it was subjected to close examination. To what extent I succeeded in this primary objective, I am not sure! the above are digital scans of a colour photocopys of the originals and do them less than justice, but it gives an idea at least.
The second phase of the project was to then affix a postage stamp to the reverse of the illustration, now rendered on card similar in weight to that of a picture postcard and post the illustration along with a suitable message written on the reverse to the address of the buyer of the work. The idea being that the artwork is exposed to both the elements and the rigours of the postal system, with hopefully some franking added along the way. Any damage incurred would then become a part of the art.
The first work was bought by a client in Atlanta and mailed from a box as near to the site of Cliff House as I could find. It survived its 3 day journey intact and with disappointingly very little weathering or damage applied. Others sustained more, but eventually I stopped making them, as the stress of worrying for anything up to a week as to whether or not £3000 of uninsured artwork would reach its destination proved too much.
The second was never posted and remains un distressed. I re discovered it on an old friends west last weekend and was struck by how much better my eyesight was then.
