I made a postcard for friends in Basel. It shows the insect life in Crete.
Here are some details, and the work under construction.
Postcard detail
The “window”
The “insects” behind the window
Glue drying
The idea was that the flies would jump out of the window when it was opened. The postcard is painted using pigments made from the earth.
Update 28th May: I learned by email that all insects arrived intact, and are now dangerously positioned next to a Gecko.
This collage postcard is inspired by the work of https://sendmeapostcart.com
