Artist bids goodbye to Danish postal system

A paper artist has used letters sent to her in the final days of letter delivery by the Danish national postal system to create an art installation of hanging daisies.

Gillian Taylor, from Cockwood, in Devon, has spent time in Denmark and several of her Danish friends have contributed to the exhibition, as have strangers who have shared their memories of opening and reading letters.

The exhibition called Med Venlig Hilsen, which translates to With Kind Regards, is being held at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery in Honiton.

"Lots of people have gone away and written letters as a result of this because they realised that if we don't use our own postal service then we might lose it as well," she said.
