Airy Artist Trading Cards

"Wind" ATCs. Top panes acrylic, lower pane empty with
curtain of paper. Ground relief print of window frame in
acrylic. Phillip Hoyle, June 2017


The topic for Saturday's trade at CORE New Art Space was "Air." One artist said he'd just bring clear acyrlic cards since one cannot see air. That comment may have been the origin of my idea to have windows, the bottom open to let in the air. I meant to call them "Fresh Air," but when I looked at what I had written they were titled "Wind." Another ATC maker often has movable parts. On these cards one can blow air through the open pane and make the curtains flap in the breeze.

Yes it's a bit corny but they did trade, and as usual, they were fun to make.
