Mary Rork-Watson is the creator of the newest work to be featured on the [**Mail Art Bulletin**](http://hyperallergic.com/tag/mail-art-bulletin/).

The Iowa-based artist explains on her [website](http://artbymrw.com/about?ref=hyperallergic.com) that her work is about:

> Revisioning the lost, discarded and ordinary into original works of art.

The tabletop work she sent our way is a wonderful little sex word-filled collage with its own stand. The antique-y feel is well suited to the subject of mail art … and who doesn’t like receiving mail with the words sex, orgasm, vagina, penis and coitus on it? Certainly not us.

Thanks for the mailed goodness, Mary.
