Yours Sincerely
“Yours Sincerely,” is a collection of work that reflects the different ways memories are created, recalled and stored within us. The artist Megan Baker’s inspiration came from the fact that the functional need to write letters has been left behind and now letters are kept as physical reminders of the memories we have, often revisited and relived.
Megan sought donations of used envelopes from the South Perth and wider community and was overwhelmed to receive over a thousand envelopes. She really enjoyed sorting and admiring the quirks of the handwritten envelopes and stamps. The oldest envelope donated was stamped in Fremantle in 1963.
Commissioned by the City of South Perth I created "Yours Sincerely," to be displayed at the Manning Community Exhibition Boxes from 11/2/19 to 26/7/19.
