Postal Angst: An Album of Sticky Dilemmas
Postal Angst is an artist’s book comprised of constructed stamps, meant to resemble a stamp album. I’ve always loved the visual iconography of postage stamps, which speak of connection, communication, travel, and adventure.
When longing, regret, remorse, and other metal dross emerges as part of cherished iconography (like these faux postage stamps), my “problems” are quickly put into perspective, melancholy is swept away, and I’m able to laugh with (and at) myself.
