USPS Art Project
"Citric" and "Sweet Summer"
The nationally touring USPS Art Project is now being hosted in its fifth location @inliquidart by Park Towne Place in Philadelphia, PA!
I'm happy to show you my collaboration works made with my sister-in-law and photographer Parvathi Kumar(@parvathikumarphotography)
This is the first time we've collaborated together and I’m glad we had this opportunity to try combining photography with fused glass elements!
Our two pieces are "Citric" and "Sweet Summer" where I created select fused glass pieces and applied them over her photographic prints.

About the project:
The USPS Art Project is a mail-art artist collaboration project created by Christina Massey in April of 2020 as a way for artists to feel connected while practicing social distancing and supporting the USPS by sending and receiving packages. The goal is for unique collaborative artworks to be created, allowing the artists to establish deeper connections by working together, and, in doing so, support the USPS. Artists raise money for the USPS through the act of purchasing postage for shipping artworks to co-artists and galleries.
How it began:
The project began as a simple idea— two artists partner up, each starting an artwork and sending it to the other to complete. These projects would be posted on social media with the hashtags #USPSARTPROJECT and #ARTISTSFORTHEUSPS. Christina Massey, the project’s founder, started by texting a single friend, then a small group of friends, and rather quickly, the project took off to where it is now. As of October 2020, there are over 1,000 artworks created in this manner since the project’s inception by hundreds of artists combining all media. This program is free and open to artists of all media to participate!
