A diptych post(c)art, two pieces from the same tree.
For example: Send one to a friend and one to yourself as a symbol of friendship. Or wishes can be written for a newly wedded couple or anniversary. Just some ideas.
 
Wood species: London plane (plataan)
 
Wooden form sketches are made on the lathe. These are numbered and signed, postage stamps are applied as well as a personal message from the sender. After which the postcard sized artwork, aka post(c)art is thrown into the mailbox.
 
The post(c)art is treated and sent just like a normal postcard. It simply comes straight off the lathe, is written upon, picked up by the postman/woman, stamped (sometimes scarred) by the postal service and dropped off onto someone’s doormat by another post(wo)man. 
 
For me these are form-studies within a well defined framework. In contrast to my other work which is often finely sanded and finished to a high level, these form studies may not sanded at all, they contain the toolmarks from the lathework and acumulate scars on their journey to the recipient.
