Postage Stamps
Equal parts Fluxus celebration and felonious enterprise, this is desktop philately taken to its ill-advised extreme. Conceived, printed and perforated at home, these stamps travel the world in search of that indelible emblem of official State approval,
the cancellation.

"We see them each and every day. Can they be art? You could sit in prison quiet a while for using one, can that be art?" (artscope.net)

"This art taps into the most vain and disingenuous impulses that afflict artists..."
( The Oregonian, Portland, OR.)

"These pieces are endearingly adolescent" (Chicago Reader)

"A possible violation of Federal Law with which you appear to be associated has come to the attention of this office..." (U.S. Postal Inspectors Letter)

"Selvon de har U.S. Postal Service pa nakken, fortsaetter to amerikanske kunsters med at skeba og affyre falske, pornografiske og politisk ukorrekte frimaeker gennem postsystemet" Maria Mackinney, Blender
