After six years and fourteen instalments, I feel that it’s the right time to bring this project to a close. I want to thank everyone who has participated for short and long periods with such an incredible spirit of generosity. I have been amazed by what you’ve sent me.
However, for anyone who would still like to correspond or trade art and other things informally, my PO box is still open. I am always happy to hear from you and I hope this change will allow me to respond to you a little more promptly in the future.

The Mail Exchange project ran from 2014 to 2020 and worked something like a free periodical or subscription box. Every six months or so, I sent out packages of handmade, printed objects to people around the world. These parcels were made up of posters, postcards, zines, drawings, badges, mixed CDs and bunting. To receive one of these parcels, participants sent me something of their choice for exchange in the mail. This could be anything they had made or found: a letter, a postcard, a recipe, a drawing, a photograph, a magazine clipping, something they’d knitted, something they’d read, sometimes all of the above.
