Battling Gemsbok
Original art - correspondence postal cover, colored pencil on envelope, 1975
Two gemsbok clash head to head in a dust-churned standoff while a third watches from the tree line, a full narrative scene worked entirely in colored pencil on a mailing envelope. Titled by the artist in the lower corner. Postally used and canceled, routed through a sorting machine, with light mechanical scuffing across the artwork confirming genuine transit. Sent via US State Department address and forwarded to Mozambique. Framed and matted.
