Riitta Ikonen (pictured above) is the artist behind YCN's new window display 'To: Margaret Huber', which can now be seen at 72 Rivington Street.
Riitta started the postal project when she took part in a student exchange programme with Nagoya University during her studies at the University of Brighton. One postcard per week was to be sent as a document of experiences to Margaret Huber, the then second year Illustration tutor at the University of Brighton. Around a hundred and fifty A6 sized cards have since been sent (and received) from all over the world. Hair, fish, a sachet of white powder, a piece of broken record, mossy bark... all dutifully delivered by postal workers. Only five cards have never reached their destination, (a few of those due to very poor crocheting).
Margaret still receives mail at irregular intervals.
