In his <em>Envelopes </em>series, Andrew Bush continues his interest in exploring boundaries of communication and personal versus private space. Displayed in second-hand printing frames, Bush&#8217;s images of envelopes, which were chosen in an array of colors and sizes to heighten their authenticity, speak to the cultural and personal connotation of the written letter and its fading presence in contemporary society.
