8.5" x 10"
collage made with discarded, patterned security envelopes
unique
$430 professionally framed
Security envelopes obscure their own contents. It is impossible to read what is inside, even when they are held up to light. Offset and imprecise patterns inside these envelopes create a scrim which serves as a decorative backdrop to our everyday bureaucratic tangles. Shapes of flora in this collage echo the security envelope's intended use as camouflage to hide private documents.
All the envelopes I use in this series were destined for the waste stream.
