The Mail Order Catalogue — 1995-2005
Mail Art project in collaboration with artist Annie Dunning. We produced nine issues of an annual “Mail Order Catalogue” (1995-2004), offering pseudo consumer art products, illustrated with drawings and collage. These handmade or found items (e.g., sticks) were fabricated (or collected) by the artists and sent to buyers through the post. Sixties/seventies Mail Art meets the DIY “zine culture” of the nineties and early 2000s.

All Mail Order Catalogue issues to date, the earliest printed on a Shopper's Drug Mart photocopier
