Friday Find – Security Envelope Art

We enter May with an interesting craft from Paul Lukas — a close look at security envelope patterns. These classically inconspicuous designs, which are hiding in plain sight, have inspired collectors, artists, and at least one architect.

See his article on the topic and the subsequent art that comes from an attention to this naturally occurring pattern in our office environments.
