Sculptures Inspired by Postage Stamps

 

Just before the new millennium I became preoccupied for two years with an old hobby of mine – postage stamps.  Those tiny bits of paper often capture a notable feeling for what designers wish to project as attractive or unique in their country.  Many of these miniatures display exquisite artistic compositions. 

 

Since I was preparing for two exhibitions in the United States, I started with two dozen carvings of American postal themes.  Nine of the twenty‑four were sold there.  Later I completed twenty Canadian and other postage stamps.
