Simon Warren -- Tring -- UNITED KINGDOM

There's always that moment when you pull a packet like this from your mailbox...

wondering what the extent of the damage might be.

A Ripping Mail Art Adventure from Simon Warren

Surprise! ... other than being a little rumpled from the journey there was no apparent damage (except to the bag it arrived in... it looked as if a cat had tried to gnaw into it).

Congratulations, kudos, and well done, Simon. This welcome and bare naked postal made quite a journey to arrive at the TMA Gallery.

Apologies for the photos, which do not do the piece justice. Will try to add another photo here after it's relaxed for a few days.
