The Postal Exchange
October 2025 | Leith Makers
A new piece titled Form II was created as part of The Postal Exchange.
Curated by Miriam Morris in collaboration with Leith Makers.
“Across 2025, twenty-four artists have taken part in The Postal Exchange. Matched at random, each pair exchanged art materials via the post over several months. The goal of the project was to spark new creative practices, shake up existing working methods, and encourage playful collaboration".”

Form 1 is a collage artwork made by Louise during the Postal Exchange. The photograph shows the final exhibiting piece framed on a wall. The work is created from glossy, textured black paper folded into a three-dimensional abstract form, presented in a black A5 frame without glass, with a white mount set against a black background.

The second image shows Form 1 from a closer, side-on angle, highlighting the folded structure of the glossy black paper and the three-dimensional form created by the collage.
“Miriam Morris on the Postal Exchange “I wanted it to feel exciting”
The Postal Exchange sought to foster creative fun, collaboration, and connecting the artistic community while challenging artists to step outside their usual practices and explore new forms of expression. Each of the twenty-four participating artists has selected one piece from their postal exchange series to display in the exhibition, offering a snapshot of the collaborative process. In addition to the main exhibition, visitors will be invited to contribute to a living collage wall - a massive blank canvas where the public can join in to create a collective piece of artwork in real-time. A commemorative zine will also accompany the exhibition, capturing the ethos and creative outcomes.” - Leith Makers
