False Sense of Security: 2


A while back, I started collecting engravings of flora and fauna as I came across them in a variety of Victorian encyclopedias and periodicals. I find them beautiful and exotic. Over the past few months they've become part of a series titled False Sense of Security. Yeah, I'm feeling a little anxious these days. It's leaning toward creatures with highly defensive coverings and protuberances, for which I substitute the modern human defense against identity theft, mail fraud, etc: inside out "security" envelopes. 5" x 5" on acid-free watercolor paper {SOLD}
