Seller: 3DFB7 (2497)

An original, interactive mixed media collage by Austin, Texas-based Mail Art and zine pioneer Daniel Plunkett.

The composition features physical cutouts with corresponding insertable elements (such as a red square bearing the letter "D"). The text explicitly references the international postal art ethos: "contact", "exchange", and "document". Marks: Signed and dated "Daniel Plunkett June 1991" on the lower right and on the verso. The verso bears the artist's iconic red rubber networking stamp: "N D PO BOX 4144 AUSTIN TX 78765". daniel plunkett art, mail art movement, postal art, austin texas zine culture, neo dada collage, interactive mixed media, 1990s counter culture.
