This 12-by-4-inch mixed-media piece uses textured molding paste to mimic topographical contours, echoed by hand-drawn lines that unfold into abstracted landscapes. A vintage envelope from a professor is embedded as both artifact and metaphor, recalling a time when mail physically traveled, carrying ideas across distance and terrain. Together, surface and story reflect movement, passage, and the quiet accumulation of meaning as things—and people—traverse many landscapes.
