Letter #0005 – envelope and contents
Sent to my penpal Hannah.
Layers of paper and textile, placed by hand. A handwritten note softly tinted with color I drew from wild plants! 🌿
The whole piece rests inside a powerful red envelope. Red felt right for Hannah at that time; she had told me she’s a musician, and I kept thinking about how powerful it is to find your own voice in the music industry.
I tend to associate colors with people and stories. this one felt undeniably red ❤️‍🔥

Letter #0004 - envelope and contents.
Sent to my penpal Ilona.

Green & purple palette throughout.
I found an illustration of a person casting a vote and replaced the plain ballot with colorful holographic paper.
On the back a Dutch quote meaning “by writing on paper you gently browse through your ideas”.💚
Also included a piece of Gustav Klimt’s "Bewegtes Wasser" referencing the flow and dynamic of life.

Year 8 have done a wonderful job writing their pen-pal letters to pupils at the @emmynoetherschule, enhancing their language skills and building a cultural connection with a German school.

We are unbelievably ecstatic to share that our Year 8 students have started their Pen Pal projects with students from Emmy-Noether-Schule, in their German classes. This is certainly an exciting time for Oldbury Academy as we hope to share regular updates on this project.
