I have now finished the pieces for the exhibition in march. Well just a few minor adjustments then the protective coating to be done. Its been a most exhausting Saturday as I basically painted all day and most the night. Enjoyed every minute of it. Now have another project about to begin. They will be in the shape of stamps. Hundertwasser has influenced me in his love of stamps and what they mean to him.
In 1990 Hundertwasser wrote: 'A stamp must experience its destiny. A true stamp must feel the tongue of its sender when its glue is licked. It must experience the dark inside of the letterbox. The stamp must bear the postmark, it must feel the Postman's hand - a stamp that has not been sent on a letter is not a stamp as it has never lived. It is a precious piece of art that reaches everybody as a present from afar. The stamp must bear witness to culture, beauty and human creativity. The most viable mark of national identity becomes the most effective way to convey the message of harmony'.
