Name: Poster Art
Artists: Holly Bowler

Made: 2011

Here I experimented with the concept of a simple poster. I drew the text and the image onto paper by hand, then photocopied it onto some heavier card. I made many copies of this basic piece which I then distributed to people across the country through the post with a request for a response by return with their reactions to my work and their opinions. Also knows as Mail Art. I was asking people to graffiti my Art.

The posters spoke for themselves, there were some mixed messages, but some people loved this concept. The current environment didn't just affect me, but the whole country. So It only seemed right to get the opinions of others involved in the making of this work. The end result was much greater than the sum of its parts.
