Gnarled tree-face

Kathie M sent me this interesting piece. It is made with thick modeling paste or spackling, so is thickly textured and grooved. Just like her last mail art, this one gives no hint of which way is up. I like this presentation of it as it reminds me of a face in a tree.

Somewhat humorously, I thought this was another piece of art. Turns out it was just some cardboard used for protection, made from one of the most recognizable brands on the planet.
