The New York Times Mail Art Project. Part Five.

Pablo Picasso said "The purpose of art is to wash the daily dust of life off our souls." That may be its purpose, but who decides what is dust and what is art? So far I have sent out 25 mail art pieces to journalists across America. Or have I just sent out 25 pieces of dreck? Perhaps the very act of creating them and sending them is all the art there is to them. They'll be thrown in the trash. On the other hand, maybe I've started a trend among journalists -- and these pieces will be collected and cataloged like baseball cards.
Nah . . . that's not gonna happen.
