Boxed Set, A Sculptural Mailbox by Kevin Caron
BOXED SET
Artist's Collection
Phoenix, Arizona

Powder-coated steel
39" x 46" x 22"
68 pounds
2007


In keeping with the angular design of the house it serves, this mailbox echoes the building's rectangular forms.

Each of three boxes has an imperceptibly domed top to eliminate water or debris puddling on top.

The bottom two boxes raise the functional third box to a comfortable level for mail delivery. The third box features an outgoing slot with a spring-loaded clip for holding waiting mail, and a slot below it for incoming.

The incoming mail drops down into a roomy container, making it unattractive to mail thieves. It is then is retrieved from the back by opening a lock.

Boxed Set is powder-coated with the same color and texture as the gates that also grace the house, Peekaboo.
