a both-sides-now shot of an intriguing mixed media work on corrugated cardboard, featuring images from antiquity, jellyfish, and a gingerbread house...

based on style/materials/techniques/postage, i've inferred that this comes from EyS, even though there is no indication of sender. feel free to let me know if this is correct or…
