Artist Trading Cards

In the late 1990s, Artists began using the small 2.5-inch by 3.5-inch trading card templates as the basis for a new way to share small format artworks. In the early 2000s, Anna Banana began to create and trade her own cards, amassing a fairly large collection, and producing a significant number of her own card editions. This series is made up of her own creations, as well as cards collected from artists at the trading events which she attended.

This series is mostly made up of trading cards in binders or folders, with some information relating to the development of this art form in the file called “ARTIST TRADING CARDS: The Story.” Banana compiled cards into binders either by year or by significance, and kept her own separate from those which she received from others.

2000s mail art (part 2)

Subseries was created from 2004-2008 while Banana was living on the Sunshine Coast. It is made up of mail art and other correspondence received by Banana through the Mail Art Network during this time. A significant portion of correspondence in this series are between Banana and existing friends and colleagues who have continued to engage with the mail art network, albeit a different looking network to the one that had existed previously.

Items in this subseries are predominantly letters and envelopes, often decorated, but also include photographs, drawings, xerox art, found objects and small sculptural items, collage, and other visual mediums, often integrated into the letters and envelopes.
